Open sesame… a party favorite

Have you ever licked a potato chip just to get the salt? Okay… so maybe I’m strange, but sometimes a little salt cures the munchies.

These gluten-free, toasted sesame crackers offer the same salty exterior as a chip, but they have a smooth exterior. There are no crumbs or salt sprinkles stuck to your fingers. They are “classy” crackers, even though licking them is anything but classy. :)

Toasted sesame is the main flavor profile, but it’s not overwhelming. It blends well with the brown rice and chickpea flours used in the creation of these crackers. The cracker itself is sturdy enough to stand up to any topping or dip, and it doesn’t crumble. This makes it a perfect vessel for a party snack.

Organic, simple ingredients with a non-GMO certification add to the quality of these crackers even more.

The brand is Harvest Stone but the company behind the brand is TH Foods, Inc. This company is the #1 manufacturer of sesame sticks in the US, so it makes sense to have a cracker that is sesame forward.

A brief history: TH Foods started as Sesmark Foods in 1984 with its production of sesame sticks, which was followed by a wheat cracker in 1987. In 1998, Sesmark sold and became Terra Harvest Foods, which ultimately turned into TH Foods in 2004. Today this company offers a variety of products, but sesame still appears to be central in most of its products. To find out more, visit the TH Foods website.

TH Foods’ motto is “Believe in Better”. This is shown in its “Claims to Fame” page which touts meeting the lifestyle goals of consumers. It is because of the product and the company’s Claims to Fame that Harvest Stone crackers get an IMBHO-yes.
