Crackers: Roland Feng Shui Rice Crackers

A second Roland product we taste-tested was the Feng Shui Original Rice Cracker. These too are gluten free, fat free, cholesterol free and MSG free. The air-tight pack is filled with fun, surprisingly shaped crackers.

I especially gravitated towards the big squares which were very crisp and had a baked in shine of celiac-safe soy sauce. The orange moon pieces contained the paprika, though only a hint of the flavor was noticeable. On first bite there is an almost candy-like sweetness which provided a fascinating mouth-feel. But then you crunch into the crispy cracker and they uh just resemble rice crackers. Again, I'll just preface that with an "I'm not sure how much flavor rice crackers are intended to have" comment.

But I liked them and enjoyed finishing off the bag- and Rob was left wondering where they went. At least they didn't find themselves thrown across the room! He'll just have to go back to the AOL store in Dulles, VA and pick-up another pack.

Crackers: Roland Feng Shui Hot Wasabi Rice Crackers

Recently Rob picked up a pack of Roland Feng Shui Hot Wasabi Rice Crackers for us to try. These all natural rice crackers are gluten free, fat free, cholesterol free and MSG free.

We gave them first to my father-in-law to taste; unfortunately his tongue hit the wasabi before he had a chance to chew them and the cracker landed halfway across the room. Guess he didn't really like them.

Undeterred, I gave the crackers a try and fared far better. The crackers are round in shape, very light and you can see the wasabi bits baked right in. But yes they do have quite a wasabi bite to them at first! Once you chomp them up though the wasabi sting fades quickly. Other than the initial surprise, they generally taste just like regular rice crackers. They don't really have a lot of flavor to them- though I'm not sure how much flavor, rice crackers are intended to have.

In any event, Rob definitely enjoyed them and finished off the pack in no time flat.

Ingredients:
Rice, naturally fermented soy sauce (soybean, salt, no gluten), sugar, tapioca starch, wasabi and seaweed.
