A Crunchy, Nourishing Snack You Can Actually Feel Good About
Candida-friendly seed crackers are one of the easiest and most satisfying recipes you can make while following a low-sugar, anti-Candida protocol. They’re crunchy, savory, high in fiber, and completely free of gluten, grains, and added sugars. Plus, they’re loaded with gut-loving seeds like flax, chia, and sunflower — all of which support digestive health and steady blood sugar.

📖 Why these seed crackers work
These crackers work because of the unique binding powers of flaxseed and chia — two seeds that absorb water and form a gel-like texture. This eliminates the need for flour, eggs, or gums.
Flaxseeds support digestion, help bind toxins, and provide anti-inflammatory omega-3 fats.
Chia seeds are excellent for stabilizing blood sugar and easing constipation — a common Candida symptom.
Sunflower and sesame seeds add crunch, minerals, and protein.
Dried herbs like oregano, rosemary, or thyme boost the antifungal value and make your kitchen smell amazing while these bake.
