Tuscan Crackers
Summary
Tuscan Crackers are made with a relatively clean ingredient list, featuring olive oil and extra virgin olive oil, which are healthy fats known for their heart health benefits. The inclusion of rosemary and sea salt adds flavor without artificial additives. However, as a processed food, the score is capped, and the presence of wheat flour as a primary ingredient limits its nutritional profile compared to whole grain options.
