First kitchen staple: Rye and wholegrain crispbreads...

You can find several types of Crispbreads from Sweden, Norway, Finland and Germany.
They are often made of rye or wholemeal flour. The most famous brand are FINNcrisp and Krisprolls by the Swedish brand Pagen. Don't confuse them with Ryvita, even though they are the same idea, Ryvita is made with British Rye flour so not suitable here. Avoid them! We are looking for authentic crackers, made with grain that is grown with low pesticide, clean water and with the most respect for the land.
This is one of the reason why eating from Scandinavia will reduce allergies, inflammation and help with digestive complaints. You are consuming foods that are Organic or near Organic with low pesticides residues and that is nutrient dense. Nordic foods contain more minerals and vitamins, because of the way they are farmed. The respect for the environment is a priority for all Scandinavian countries.
Wholegrains are very beneficial to our health as they contain fibre, vit B, Iron , copper and magnesium.
They can help your heart, help with good bacteria, promote good transit, prevent bowel cancer and colon cancer and help regulate your weight.
Most of us don't consume enough fibre in our diet. Rye crackers are very good for nausea as well, if like me you have leaky gut syndrome.

Finncrisp crackers, available @ Ocado. Asda and certain Tesco. £1.39 per pack.




Krisprolls from Sweden £1.19 per pack @ Ocado. Tesco, Asda and Sainsbury's
