Hi Rebecca!
I had the great fortune of discovering your wonderful crackers at the Saratoga Race Track. Both representatives working the booth were top notch! Very pleasant, informative and not pushy. I spent abt $60 on crackers!! Lol
I am curious as to why cornstarch is used vs Xanthan gum or guar gum. My research indicates the latter are better for digestion and lower in carbs. As someone with a sensitive tummy and watching carb intake, this is important to me.
I’m sure you’ve researched this exhaustively. Thank you for a response.
You’re website is incredible!!
To great eats,
Ginger
