Nabisco Wheat Thins Flatbread Crackers with Tuscan Herb

Nabisco Wheat Thins Flatbread crackers with Tuscan herb flavor are hitting store shelves and satisfying hunger and taste buds. These Wheat Thins Flatbread crackers are capitalizing on the flatbread craze that has been sweeping across the country - with good flavor. But how healthy are Wheat Thins Flatbread crackers? Are the crackers packing tons of nutrients?

I bought a 20-cracker (10 serving box) of Nabisco Wheat Thins Flatbread Tuscan Herb Crackers for $2.50 at a Central Florida Sweetbay Supermarket in February 2010.

Flavor

When I first popped one of the nearly 5-inch-long crackers into my mouth, the first thought I had was that these Nabisco Wheat Thins Flatbread Tuscan Herb Crackers taste just like a savory Italian wheat bread. Have you ever had an Italian bread with herbs, sesame seeds, and all the "crusty" stuff on the bread? That's what these Wheat Thins Flatbread crackers taste like.

I didn't try these Wheat Thins crackers with any toppings, like cream cheese or cheese spread, the first time I tried them - just the plain cracker itself. These crackers also provide a satisfying crunch, should you care about that type of thing.

These Wheat Thins Flatbread crackers are really very tasty, but they are also particularly crumbly, so be sure to have a plate under them as you eat. These are the types of crackers that would produce little crumbs all over the carpet lying under a little social gathering, so make sure you have a little stack of paper plates next to these crackers should you offer the Nabisco Wheat Thins Flatbread crackers at your next house party.

Packaging

I thought I should devote a paragraph or two to the Nabisco Wheat Thins Flatbread cracker packaging.

Primarily, I should tell you that the packaging could be a little better designed so that it seals up tightly. The box has a portal in the front to show off the crackers contained inside, but this portal creates a freshness breach once the cellophane plastic wrap surrounding the crackers is open. And, as you imagine, when that cellophane tears, it really tears.

Kudos, though, to Nabisco for the durable, high-quality hard plastic tray holding these Wheat Thins Flatbread crackers inside! I suggest upon opening these crackers you have a plastic zip-style food bag ready to contain the hard plastic cracker tray, because these crackers simply won't stay fresh in the cardboard box once you open the cellophane.
