Product Review: Glutino Gluten Free Crackers
I was especially interested in these crackers because I heard that these Glutino gluten free crackers are just like the buttery Ritz crackers I used to eat with peanut butter and bananas with my girls.Yum!
These Glutino gluten free crackers sell for $3.99 in my area. The 5.3 ounce box actually contains two small pouches of crackers. This is great for keeping the crackers fresh, but I found the packaging deceiving. You get much less than you might think.
These gluten free crackers resemble Ritz crackers with the crinkled edge and round, golden appearance. However, these crackers are a bit thinner in the center with slightly flaky, but compact layers. There is a hint of buttery flavor. The texture and flakiness reminded me more of a saltine than a Ritz, though. The crackers are light and tasty but somewhat fragile- half of my crackers were broken into small pieces straight out of the box. Also, I had to be careful spreading my peanut butter on them, so they wouldn’t break. These crackers are yummy to eat straight out of the box and their mild flavor would pair well with any spread or topping. I can also see these crackers as being excellent morning sickness crackers for my pregnant readers.
These are great crackers- despite the breakage- and I will definitely buy them again.
Pros: pleasant, mild flavor; great alone or with a topping, contains two separate bags to maintain freshness, reminds me of round saltine crackers
Cons: deceptive packaging, be careful of breakage
Rating: 4 stars

I love these crackers. I only found them last month, but I do intend to buy them again. They are good with peanut butter, tuna salad, soup, cream cheese, and for appetizers when you have a party. yeah, they do break easily, but they are the closest to “real” crackers I have found. I wish someone would make some like Cheeze-Its. I miss those a lot.

Sraah, I admit I have tried them, but ate them so quickly that I didn’t do a review! I know, I am so bad. They were really great- very tasty. I am trying to find some locally- otherwise it will have to wait until I can buy a bunch of GF items in bulk to make the shipping worth my money.

I absolutely love these crackers! I can not get them here so I usually wait for my sister to bring them or for me to go to Wholefoods (which is two hours away:() to get them. When I do have them I gobble them right up. I love them with my salsa dip.
They just changed the packaging though (I liked the original better) not that it makes a difference but pretty packaging is more appeasing. Lol.

They taste so much better than the other crackers I’ve tried, but you’l eat a whloe bag in one sitting, still a very small anount of crackers. They come in several flavors. The cheses crackers are so hard and get harder the longerthe bag is open.
If you have high blood pressure too these are lower in sodium than the other types I’ve tried.
