About Nut thins

Nut Thins are a type of thin, crispy cracker made primarily from ground nuts, such as almonds, along with rice flour and other ingredients. Originating as a gluten-free alternative to traditional wheat-based crackers, Nut Thins have gained popularity in Western and international cuisines for their light texture and nutty flavor. They are often enjoyed as a snack or paired with cheese, dips, or spreads. Nut Thins are typically low in cholesterol and saturated fat, containing around 3 grams of protein and 1-2 grams of dietary fiber per serving (approximately 16 crackers). They also provide small amounts of calcium and iron, as well as vitamin E from the nuts used in their production. As they are gluten-free, they cater to individuals with gluten-related disorders or dietary preferences.
