Seed crackers with psyllium

Make some psyllium seed crackers, they only have 6 main ingredients, no wheat flour, no sugars, no low-quality fats, no binders, no preservatives.

Almonds, sesame seeds, flax seeds, chia seeds, sunflower seeds and psyllium husk, sea salt and water.

To give them flavor, choose your favorite spices and seasonings, it will be the touch they need.

I have chosen garlic and onion powder, dried oregano and a touch of pepper, you can make the combination you like best, thyme, oregano, paprika and if you want to give it a spicy touch, why not add some ground dried chilies?.

These seed crackers with psyllium they only have 6 main ingredients.

Start making changes to your shopping basket

It is common to buy flour-based snacks, the so-called “special breads”, donuts, cookies, crackers, with seeds, with peanuts, with barbecue flavor or tomato and oregano flavor.

It is very easy to get a few bags of these products, leave them in the pantry and use them when you are hungry between meals, before lunch or dinner or take them to accompany cheeses, creams, soups, etc.

As I say, this is very easy, but are you aware of what it means to take these types of products without control? Do you know the amount of empty kcal you are consuming when you eat them? Do you know where all that flour ends up and what implications it has for your health? You probably buy them in good faith, you think they are not harmful to you or your family, you think that since they are not “sweet” they do not contain sugar and that you can eat them without fear, but the “salty” is also a problem.

Prepare your seed crackers with psyllium at home and control the ingredients.

 

If you want to know how to make them, keep reading because you will love this option, the best thing is how easy they are to prepare, their flavor, and how good they will make you feel.

 

Change snacks based on refined flours for these seed crackers, they will help you reduce generalized inflammation.

 

More refined flour, more body fat

Because… How many times have you taken a bag of sunflower seed sticks for lunch and then felt heavy? And how many times, in addition to feeling heavy, have you felt hungry shortly after finishing them?

Do you think it’s logical to put more than 500 kcal between your chest and back and feel hungry after a while? Something happens there, right? The answer is YES, something happens and it is very common when we overload our diet with carbohydrates. It happens that you ingest them, eagerly because you are hungry. It happens that all that carbohydrate load is digested quickly and the blood glucose level increases, your pancreas is forced to work. A lot of insulin is synthesized so that all that glucose is absorbed by the cells. Part of it will be used by your brain, it needs it to continue working, but another large part becomes part of that warehouse where “just in case” energy accumulates in the form of… yes, you guessed it, FAT. body.

 

I imaginethat all of this is already familiar to you, in reality, the metabolism of carbohydrates is more complex, as are those of proteins and fats, but the basic idea is the one I have presented to you.

Assume that more flour, more cereal, more bread, more pasta, more starch, in short, more carbohydrates, leads to more body fat, which is why it is interesting to reduce the consumption of these foods and choose those that contain them to a lesser extent.

But in addition to the accumulated fat, refined flours and all the ingredients that accompany them in these types of products, produce something worse, INFLAMMATION.

And it is precisely inflammation that is responsible for many of the chronic diseases that threaten us today.

 

Find your alternatives

These crackers are an example of how you can enjoy a salty snack without the disadvantages that commercial products entail, that is why it is highly recommended to roll up your sleeves and act for your own benefit, preparing your recipes at home and controlling the ingredients.

Be proactive, look for and find your healthy alternatives, these crackers are one of them.

Prepare your crackers, let them cool and store them in an airtight box, you already have healthy snacks for the week, take them to work or have them with your favorite soups and creams, savor them, and stay with the peace of mind that you know what you eat and control the ingredients.

On many occasions, certain healthy foods are considered expensive, there are people who think that nuts are exorbitantly priced and that seeds are overrated.

 

Nuts and seeds are not expensive, flour refined yes.

 

Regarding this topic, stop and think, how much do you think it costs to make cookies, crackers and donuts on an industrial level, taking into account that most of their ingredients are refined flours (very low cost) and starches, think about it.

Most likely the production cost is very low, but the retail price is exorbitant, in this case it is, because, what are you really consuming? Refined wheat flour, starch, vegetable oil (hopefully sunflower), preservatives, binders and industrial flavorings, and some seeds or legumes, in very low doses.

Therefore, paying 2 or 3 euros for 200 g of toasted almonds, with what their cultivation, production and final processing entails, pay less 1 euro for a packet of roasted peanuts or a bag of shelled sunflower seeds and 3 euros for a bag of walnuts, it’s worth it, don’t you think?

If you compare it with paying 1 euro for a bag containing 6 breadsticks with seeds whose cost price is minimal, you realize the large margin that the industry has and how these products DO have an exorbitant cost, since there is no quality or work behind them, and they also seriously harm our health.

Also, don’t forget that these are very tempting foods, designed so that you eat without being hungry, so that you snack and once you start you don’t stop.

With 200 g of almonds, various seeds, some spices and a little butter or coconut oil, you can make many crackers at home, you can accompany salads and other dishes, you can have them as a snack and you know what you’re eating, because you have made by you.

 

If you make your own crackers you can adjust the flavors to your taste and vary them each time.

 

You know where their flavor comes from, you know why they have turned out more or less tasty and you can correct it, you know the nutritional value of their ingredients and best of all you know that they are beneficial for your health.

Prepare different versions, do tests, involve your environment, they will love it.

 

 

How to make these psyllium seed crackers

Making the dough will take about 15 minutes, and let it rest for another 10. Then you just have to flatten it, first with your hand and then with a rolling pin. I like to divide the dough into two parts and form each one separately, it’s easier that way.

Once the dough is flattened, I make cuts with a sharp, wet knife to mark the shape of the crackers before baking them, so it’s very easy to separate them after.

If on the other hand you decide to bake the whole sheet of dough, you will have no choice but to break it into irregular pieces, but it will be impossible toCut into equal pieces.

 

A good trick is to knead, flatten, and pre-cut the dough before baking, it will turn out much better.

 

Bake for 15 minutes at 180ºC, take out the dough and remove the edges, then bake for 5 more minutes, this is important so that the edges don’t burn, so you can enjoy those scraps, they are delicious!

Once cooking is finished, it is important that they cool well, and then you can separate the pieces to store them, if there are any left 🙂

I don’t know if you feel like trying this recipe, I don’t know if it seems like a lot of work, I assure you that it is worth it, if you have children At home, let them help you, involve them in the process and let them try them. If there is a flavor they don’t like at first, let them get used to it little by little. First, they’ll nibble on a little corner, maybe make a funny face, the next time they’ll eat a bigger piece, and by the third time, they’ll leave you without. I assure you that making these crackers at home is worth it. One of the main reasons, as I’ve already told you, is to avoid industrial products and refined flours; the other is to increase your seed consumption and take advantage of all their benefits. vegan.

Ingredients

  

1x2x3x

• 1 taza almendras crudas
• 1/4 taza semillas de sésamo tostadas
• 2 cdas semillas de lino dorado
• 1 cda semillas de chía
• 1 cda cáscara de psyllium (aporta fibra soluble y es muy saciante)
• 1 cdita cúrcuma en polvo
• 1/2 cdita ajo en polvo
• 1 cdita orégano seco
• 1/2 cdita sal marina
• 1/2 taza agua templada

Instructions

 

• Añade las almendras y las semillas a tu robot de cocina, muele todo junto.
• Añade las especias y dale unas cuantas pulsiones más, para que se mezcle.
• Pon la mezcla de ingredientes secos en un bol y añade el agua templada poco a poco. Es posible que no la necesites toda.
  
• Amasa mientras vas incorporando el agua, cuando hayas formado una bola compacta, no pongas más agua.
  
• Deja reposar la bola de masa unos 15 minutos, para que las semillas (de lino y chía) se hidraten y gelifiquen, ese será el "pegamento" de la masa, recuerda que estos crackers no llevan huevo ni grasa, y de alguna manera hay que amalgamar la masa.
  
• Divide la masa en dos partes y ponla sobre un papel de horno, con otro papel encima aplasta primero con la mano y después con un rodillo. Ten paciencia, hazlo poco a poco y si ves que los bordes de separan vuelve a unirlos manualmente.
  
• Marca la forma de los crackers antes de hornear.
  
• Hornea a 180ºC, con el horno ya precalentado, durante 15 minutos.
• Saca la masa, retira los bordes para que no se quemen y hornea el resto 5 minutos más.
  
• Ya tienes tus crackers listos, deja enfriar y disfrútalos. No olvides aprovechar los bordes, ¡están deliciosos!.
  
• Recién hechos están muy crujientes, al cabo de unas horas ya no tanto, si quieres volver a secarlos mételos en el horno 5 o 10 minutos a 160ºC, no quieres que se cocinen, solo que pierdan la humedad. Para mi este paso no es necesario, a mi me gustan tal cual, pero se puede hacer sin problemas.
  

Notes

• Me salieron 18 crackers cortados en cuadraditos de 5 x 5 cm aproximadamente, además de muchos bordes.

 

• He considerado que 3 unidades hacen una ración, por eso he puesto que salen 6, pero en realidad salen unos cuantos más si cuentas los descartes.
