We picked up these 3 seed beet crackers from Trader Joe's months ago, but only got around to finishing them this month. We love beets, so we were excited to try them (when we finally got around to it after moving). When we first ate them though, our first thought was that we wouldn't have really known they were beet crackers if not for the name, as they just tasted like small tortilla chips.
We were expecting crackers with earthy beet flavors, but that's probably because we didn't read the ingredients that carefully. The first ingredient was white corn, and the crackers also had black sesame seeds, flax seeds, chia seeds, and a couple of seasonings. Beets were the third ingredient, but even then it was only beet powder, which we usually see mostly as a coloring. No wonder they tasted a bit like tortilla chips. They weren't bad, but we were expecting something more distinctive since they were supposedly made with beets. They were just good crackers/chips, and worked well with the hummus we ate them with.
Buy again? Maybe, maybe not. We don't really remember how the price lined up against different TJ's (or other) crackers we like, so it would really depend on that more than anything. They're fine, but nothing so unique-tasting that we absolutely have to get them again.
