From the Asian grocery downtown:
Sesame Crisp Flakes: 4 packets, each containing four "crackers" within a larger packet, 136g. I think the serving size of 30 g shows some significant lack of clarity of the concept of the Nutrition Facts panel: there are four 30g servings and an extra 16g serving. I suppose that's why a serving is 1/4.5 of the container. So, one packet is 150 calories plus the calories for the extra. Ingredients are sesame and sugar. Hmm, this is probably too high a sugar content for first thing in the morning. (I'm looking for the equivalent of a few crackers or saltines.) I suspect i'll love these: i'm just going to put them aside.
Next is a Sesame Rice Cracker from Sukantha ("Healthy Thai Snacks"). Unclear from the opaque packaging, i discover these are individually wrapped, eleven packets each containing one cracker. The total is 90g, with a serving size of 30g -- and a serving size of five pieces. And the packet claims that there is "about three servings per container." Not if you make it five pieces there isn't.
Math! It's not just Americans with the problem!
So, i'm going to go forward under the hypothesis there were supposed to be *twelve* packets, four of which would come to a 30g serving, and thus three servings in the container. Someone just left out the twelfth packet. There are 180 calories per 30 grams.
Ingredients are: Thai Horn-Mali Rice 60%, sesame 30%, sugar 2.5%, salt, pepper & garlic rounding it out. And YUM!! I am suddenly appreciative of the absurd single cracker packaging. Two should be sufficient to match the effect of the four saltines, that little touch of sugar is enough to trigger my interest in wanting more.
How hard would it be to make rice crackers?
Now to sip on the 1:1 blend of African Honeybush and rose hips. I'm happy to have a month of going through my tisane ingredients and using them up.
Now to call work about Product demonstrating Major Flaw in just moments before release.
