Review on Crispbread Recipe

So it's a new week, meaning new blog post. As you might remember, last week, I shared a crispbread recipe with you. Therefore I decided to write a review on it. I'll talk about the nutrition content and why it is healthy.

The ingredients I used along with water and salt were: sammalt grov rug, havregryn, solsikkekjerner, linfrø and sesamfrø. All together this gave me 50 crispbread pieces, each with a mass around 25g.

Here is the nutrition content in one crispbread piece:

Energy: 104 kcal  

Protein: 3 grams

Fat: 5 grams

Carbohydrates: 11 grams

Fiber: 2 grams

As we can see there is not much fat or carbohydrates, but still it seems that there are many calories. How is the crispbread healthy then? How would you explain this?

Seeing the big numbers might panic you at first glance, but if you really think about it, you will realize something. Even though it has more calories per 100 grams than a piece of bread, it has double the amount of fiber. Therefore it is considered a healthier alternative. 

The only thing that can ruin the fact that they are  healthier is what you put on top of them. Normally, you would put a bit more topping on crispbread because of how thin they are, and maybe eat around two pieces. Then you end up with eating a lot more calories than if you just had eaten a piece of bread. To avoid this, try to not use too much topping, and that way two pieces will only equal to one piece of bread.

Here are a few suggestions of healthy toppings:

Crispbread topped with some strawberry jam and two slices of brown cheese

Crispbread topped with tomatoes and celery no top of two slices of cheese

To conclude we can see that crispbread are actually healthier than bread, however over time it's good to have variation. Whether you eat bread or crispbread, rye bread or rye crispbread is always better. That is what was used in the recipe. Additionally, fun fact, rye and oatmeal contain advantageous fiber types that can reduce cholesterol and regulate blood sugar.

Also in my previous blog post someone asked how to store them, and for how long they last. It's really simple. You can just leave them on you kitchen counter in a basket (like in the picture), and they can last for more than a week.
