1
00:00:00,520 --> 00:00:03,000
Speaker 1: Is a cheese and cracker platter something that you look

2
00:00:03,040 --> 00:00:06,160
Speaker 1: forward to every weekend. Do you scan the shelves to

3
00:00:06,160 --> 00:00:09,240
Speaker 1: find the most nutritious crackers only to be left confused

4
00:00:09,240 --> 00:00:12,520
Speaker 1: by the huge range that you find in supermarkets. Well

5
00:00:12,560 --> 00:00:15,160
Speaker 1: don't worry, we have you cover it. So today we're

6
00:00:15,160 --> 00:00:18,320
Speaker 1: going to review three of the most popular seeded crackers

7
00:00:18,360 --> 00:00:19,200
Speaker 1: in the supermarket.

8
00:00:19,720 --> 00:00:19,880
Speaker 2: Hi.

9
00:00:19,920 --> 00:00:22,120
Speaker 1: I'm Susie Burrow and I'm Liam Wood and it's two

10
00:00:22,160 --> 00:00:25,360
Speaker 1: of Austrays leading dieticians who specialize in evidence face nutrition.

11
00:00:25,880 --> 00:00:28,840
Speaker 1: We bring you the Nutrition Couch Product Review, a weekly

12
00:00:28,920 --> 00:00:31,240
Speaker 1: chat on new products and old favorites that you can

13
00:00:31,280 --> 00:00:34,519
Speaker 1: find in supermarkets. So Leanne, I'm a little bit like

14
00:00:34,560 --> 00:00:38,480
Speaker 1: you as I've got older. I love crackers in particular,

15
00:00:38,560 --> 00:00:40,680
Speaker 1: and I love a cheese plate, and I have to

16
00:00:40,680 --> 00:00:45,320
Speaker 1: say I take great pride in creating beautiful, entertaining platters.

17
00:00:45,320 --> 00:00:46,919
Speaker 1: So I'm really looking forward to moving into my new

18
00:00:46,960 --> 00:00:49,960
Speaker 1: house so i can get back to entertaining regularly. And

19
00:00:50,000 --> 00:00:52,480
Speaker 1: I know you're a cheese and cracker lover as well.

20
00:00:52,600 --> 00:00:54,760
Speaker 2: Well. I'm a massive fan. Choosing Breaker's hands down have

21
00:00:54,840 --> 00:00:57,960
Speaker 2: to be ohever I had oh haroblems gonna say top five,

22
00:00:57,960 --> 00:00:59,680
Speaker 2: but I might stretch to top ten foods that I

23
00:00:59,720 --> 00:01:02,360
Speaker 2: could as my last days on a cheese crackers would

24
00:01:02,360 --> 00:01:03,960
Speaker 2: hands down being in the top. But you know the

25
00:01:04,000 --> 00:01:07,120
Speaker 2: good quality stuff triple Bree or some ash Bree or

26
00:01:07,120 --> 00:01:09,960
Speaker 2: some nice you know French cheese, and you know some

27
00:01:10,040 --> 00:01:12,000
Speaker 2: good grainy, seedy crackers as well.

28
00:01:12,120 --> 00:01:15,080
Speaker 1: The dafen wire is a big favorite of mine, but

29
00:01:15,080 --> 00:01:18,039
Speaker 1: at the moment I'm actually enjoying the truffled cheddar. Like

30
00:01:18,080 --> 00:01:20,480
Speaker 1: there's a truffled one, you just slice it. And there's

31
00:01:20,520 --> 00:01:24,680
Speaker 1: these Lavosh crackers that are just my absolute favorite. So yes,

32
00:01:24,760 --> 00:01:27,040
Speaker 1: you're talking to people who know they're cheese and crackers people,

33
00:01:27,080 --> 00:01:29,200
Speaker 1: so you're in good hands. So the first one we're

34
00:01:29,200 --> 00:01:32,319
Speaker 1: going to review today is a brand that I really

35
00:01:32,360 --> 00:01:35,480
Speaker 1: love all of their products in general. The Alinas are

36
00:01:35,520 --> 00:01:38,640
Speaker 1: TSI and crackers, and we've chosen the cranberry and sunfow

37
00:01:38,640 --> 00:01:41,319
Speaker 1: our seed ones and I have definitely had these land

38
00:01:41,480 --> 00:01:44,800
Speaker 1: They've been on my and often I'll include a style

39
00:01:44,840 --> 00:01:47,040
Speaker 1: of cracker like this on my patters. Now these retail

40
00:01:47,040 --> 00:01:48,960
Speaker 1: for four dollars at calls and four dollars fifty at

41
00:01:48,960 --> 00:01:51,680
Speaker 1: were worse. They're certainly not inexpensive and I think that's

42
00:01:51,680 --> 00:01:54,920
Speaker 1: often a testament to the quality of the ingredients, because

43
00:01:55,240 --> 00:01:57,520
Speaker 1: the seeds in particular can be quite expensive.

44
00:01:58,040 --> 00:01:58,800
Speaker 2: So what we'll do.

45
00:01:58,800 --> 00:02:01,560
Speaker 1: Today we might compare one hundred grams, I think because

46
00:02:01,600 --> 00:02:04,840
Speaker 1: it's difficult with serving sizes because they don't necessarily specify

47
00:02:04,880 --> 00:02:07,720
Speaker 1: how many crackers that ease point, so it will go

48
00:02:07,800 --> 00:02:11,720
Speaker 1: per hundred grams. So per hundred these crackers have got

49
00:02:11,840 --> 00:02:16,079
Speaker 1: seventeen one hundred and ninety kilo jules, which a quick

50
00:02:16,320 --> 00:02:19,400
Speaker 1: calculation is about four hundred and fifty calories for that

51
00:02:19,639 --> 00:02:22,799
Speaker 1: entire box. Oh no, is it one hundred grad box? Yes, yes,

52
00:02:22,800 --> 00:02:25,639
Speaker 1: the whole box, Yeah, and nine point nine grams of protein,

53
00:02:25,919 --> 00:02:29,400
Speaker 1: eleven point nine grams of total fat and just one

54
00:02:29,440 --> 00:02:33,160
Speaker 1: point seven grams saturated. So whilst seeds do have some

55
00:02:33,320 --> 00:02:35,639
Speaker 1: fat in them, they're very very low and saturated fat,

56
00:02:35,639 --> 00:02:38,240
Speaker 1: which is a good side. Anything less than three percent

57
00:02:38,320 --> 00:02:42,239
Speaker 1: saturated fat is a good quality product. Carbohydrates, as you

58
00:02:42,280 --> 00:02:44,560
Speaker 1: would expect from a cracker, sixty five point six grams.

59
00:02:44,560 --> 00:02:47,600
Speaker 1: A high proportion of those sugar is twenty two point

60
00:02:47,639 --> 00:02:49,840
Speaker 1: one grams. And I will stress that because when we

61
00:02:49,880 --> 00:02:53,000
Speaker 1: look at these ingredient lists, the dried fruit in those

62
00:02:53,000 --> 00:02:55,560
Speaker 1: will be giving most of that sugar. Drivetro five to

63
00:02:55,680 --> 00:02:59,040
Speaker 1: seven point nine per hundred and seven hundred and seventy

64
00:02:59,080 --> 00:03:02,240
Speaker 1: milligrams of SOD, which again sounds quite high, but if

65
00:03:02,240 --> 00:03:03,720
Speaker 1: you break it down to sort of three or four

66
00:03:03,760 --> 00:03:06,880
Speaker 1: crackers per serve it it's pretty low overall. And we'd

67
00:03:06,919 --> 00:03:10,520
Speaker 1: look at the ingredients. Wheat flour is first, followed by

68
00:03:10,560 --> 00:03:12,960
Speaker 1: flax seeds, which are extremely high in the plant source

69
00:03:12,960 --> 00:03:15,040
Speaker 1: of a Mega three fat, which is a massive bonus,

70
00:03:15,320 --> 00:03:18,519
Speaker 1: although we don't have the actual reading on that fat profile.

71
00:03:19,480 --> 00:03:22,520
Speaker 1: Dried sweetened cranberries at ten point seven percent, so not

72
00:03:22,560 --> 00:03:26,000
Speaker 1: insignificant in giving much of those sugars which have got

73
00:03:26,040 --> 00:03:29,120
Speaker 1: a little bit of sugar in them. Followed by raw sugar, honey,

74
00:03:29,160 --> 00:03:31,840
Speaker 1: Greek yogurt, which is an interesting ingredient really for this

75
00:03:31,919 --> 00:03:35,200
Speaker 1: kind of product. Sunflower seeds at five point one percent,

76
00:03:35,200 --> 00:03:37,840
Speaker 1: which is also a fair whack of sunflower seeds in

77
00:03:37,880 --> 00:03:40,960
Speaker 1: these products, so it doesn't give us the percentage of

78
00:03:41,000 --> 00:03:43,120
Speaker 1: flax seeds, which is odd. Why they've only done it

79
00:03:43,120 --> 00:03:45,720
Speaker 1: for sunflower seeds because it's in the name, that's why.

80
00:03:45,840 --> 00:03:49,120
Speaker 1: So if a food product includes the ingredient in the title,

81
00:03:49,480 --> 00:03:52,360
Speaker 1: they need to include the percentage, whereas flax seeds isn't

82
00:03:52,360 --> 00:03:54,840
Speaker 1: in the actual product description and hence they haven't given

83
00:03:55,080 --> 00:03:57,240
Speaker 1: the percentage of those, but it will be higher than

84
00:03:57,280 --> 00:04:00,520
Speaker 1: five point one percent which is sunflower seeds, So that's reassuring.

85
00:04:00,520 --> 00:04:03,360
Speaker 1: We have got quite a strong product raising agent five

86
00:04:03,440 --> 00:04:06,680
Speaker 1: hundred and then salt. They do contain gluten milk products

87
00:04:06,680 --> 00:04:09,840
Speaker 1: so as as well as may contain sesame and trainaut

88
00:04:09,880 --> 00:04:12,720
Speaker 1: so not great for our allergies. And you can see

89
00:04:12,720 --> 00:04:15,040
Speaker 1: wheat flour is the first ingredient and it's made in Australia.

90
00:04:15,120 --> 00:04:17,680
Speaker 1: We believe it's an Australian company from at least seventy

91
00:04:17,920 --> 00:04:20,600
Speaker 1: four percent of austrain ingredients, which is actually really highly

92
00:04:20,680 --> 00:04:22,880
Speaker 1: on because we don't have a lot of seeds here

93
00:04:22,880 --> 00:04:25,000
Speaker 1: in Australia, so quite a high proportion of that for

94
00:04:25,080 --> 00:04:28,640
Speaker 1: this product. Now, you know what I'm finding hard to

95
00:04:28,760 --> 00:04:32,200
Speaker 1: faulter it you don't have that many of them. There

96
00:04:32,200 --> 00:04:34,920
Speaker 1: are a million times better than crackers made with palm oil,

97
00:04:34,960 --> 00:04:38,680
Speaker 1: which is sort of the old school cracker on cheese platters. Yes,

98
00:04:38,680 --> 00:04:40,880
Speaker 1: they've got some sugars, does have a little bit of

99
00:04:40,880 --> 00:04:44,359
Speaker 1: added sugar, but for me, the good fats from the

100
00:04:44,440 --> 00:04:47,400
Speaker 1: high proportion of flax seed and sunflower seeds out weighs

101
00:04:47,440 --> 00:04:51,120
Speaker 1: any negatives. I think they're really good. I buy them,

102
00:04:51,279 --> 00:04:53,680
Speaker 1: I recommend them. I think that just keeping an eye

103
00:04:53,720 --> 00:04:55,560
Speaker 1: on the portions, you'd want sort of three four five

104
00:04:55,680 --> 00:04:58,960
Speaker 1: crackers at most. But you know, I think they're pretty

105
00:04:58,960 --> 00:04:59,800
Speaker 1: good in general.

106
00:05:00,040 --> 00:05:01,680
Speaker 2: I agree, I buy them. I love them. I think

107
00:05:01,680 --> 00:05:04,200
Speaker 2: they're absolutely delicious, but I would be hard pressed to

108
00:05:04,200 --> 00:05:06,200
Speaker 2: eat that whole container. And when you're listing off some

109
00:05:06,240 --> 00:05:09,359
Speaker 2: of the nutrition on the nutrition information panel, yeah, it

110
00:05:09,360 --> 00:05:11,679
Speaker 2: sounds like a lot like twelve grams of fat, twenty

111
00:05:11,720 --> 00:05:14,400
Speaker 2: grams of sugar, seven hundred and seventy milligrams of sodium,

112
00:05:14,400 --> 00:05:16,480
Speaker 2: But don't forget we were listing off per one hundred grams,

113
00:05:16,480 --> 00:05:18,720
Speaker 2: so the entire box. And you know, I could probably

114
00:05:18,760 --> 00:05:20,520
Speaker 2: sit there on the couch and eat a whole box

115
00:05:20,560 --> 00:05:22,880
Speaker 2: of jats and I just wouldn't find them satisfying. And

116
00:05:22,920 --> 00:05:24,880
Speaker 2: yet if I had a whole packet of these crackers,

117
00:05:25,000 --> 00:05:26,839
Speaker 2: I think I'd actually be hard pressed to eat the

118
00:05:26,839 --> 00:05:29,239
Speaker 2: whole packet, just because of the good profile of nuts

119
00:05:29,240 --> 00:05:31,160
Speaker 2: and seeds in there. I find them a lot more

120
00:05:31,240 --> 00:05:33,960
Speaker 2: satisfying cracker for cracker than if I just had like

121
00:05:33,960 --> 00:05:37,000
Speaker 2: a plane like Jatz cracker or rice crackers. Like let's

122
00:05:37,040 --> 00:05:39,000
Speaker 2: be honest, Sos, rice crackers are so more as you

123
00:05:39,040 --> 00:05:41,920
Speaker 2: could eat two, three, four rows of them for an

124
00:05:41,960 --> 00:05:44,839
Speaker 2: incredible amount of carbohydrate. Compared to these ones, They've at

125
00:05:44,920 --> 00:05:47,440
Speaker 2: least got a really good fat, nice fat profile in

126
00:05:47,480 --> 00:05:49,360
Speaker 2: there which kind of slow you down and make you

127
00:05:49,400 --> 00:05:51,400
Speaker 2: a little bit more say, shated over time. So I'm

128
00:05:51,400 --> 00:05:53,599
Speaker 2: a massive fan of these as well, Susie. And putting

129
00:05:53,640 --> 00:05:55,480
Speaker 2: some of these on a cheese patter, Let's be honest,

130
00:05:55,480 --> 00:05:57,480
Speaker 2: if you're sharing that between a group of friends, four

131
00:05:57,600 --> 00:05:59,880
Speaker 2: six ten people there, you probably only get to have

132
00:05:59,880 --> 00:06:02,160
Speaker 2: a couple with a you know, small wedge of cheese

133
00:06:02,200 --> 00:06:03,760
Speaker 2: and hopefully a couple of vegi sticks and a bit

134
00:06:03,800 --> 00:06:06,960
Speaker 2: of fresh fruit. Actually a really wonderful addition. But my

135
00:06:07,040 --> 00:06:08,720
Speaker 2: only thing is I don't know why they called them

136
00:06:08,800 --> 00:06:11,760
Speaker 2: cranberry and sunflower seeds. I like flat seeds. I find

137
00:06:11,800 --> 00:06:14,040
Speaker 2: them far more nutritious. I would have called them cranberry

138
00:06:14,040 --> 00:06:16,600
Speaker 2: and flax seeds, but maybe it's just hard to pronounce.

139
00:06:16,600 --> 00:06:18,880
Speaker 2: I'm not really sure. With the higher proportion of flax

140
00:06:18,880 --> 00:06:21,440
Speaker 2: seeds compared to sunflower seeds. Why they put some flour

141
00:06:21,480 --> 00:06:22,840
Speaker 2: in the name and not flux seeds.

142
00:06:23,240 --> 00:06:25,600
Speaker 1: I guess people don't really know flax seeds so much,

143
00:06:25,600 --> 00:06:28,359
Speaker 1: where a sunflower is sort of a positive association, like

144
00:06:28,400 --> 00:06:29,279
Speaker 1: the boxes yellow.

145
00:06:29,440 --> 00:06:30,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, maybe.

146
00:06:31,080 --> 00:06:33,400
Speaker 1: I think what I love about these crackers is they're

147
00:06:33,440 --> 00:06:36,479
Speaker 1: so crunchy that you're really satisfied after eating them. And

148
00:06:36,520 --> 00:06:38,800
Speaker 1: if I'm having them, I won't have just one cracker

149
00:06:38,800 --> 00:06:40,960
Speaker 1: with cheese. I'll break it down into two or four

150
00:06:41,120 --> 00:06:43,440
Speaker 1: and have a little bit of cheese and really savor

151
00:06:43,800 --> 00:06:46,760
Speaker 1: the experience. So I find they're really they're crunchy, and

152
00:06:46,800 --> 00:06:49,280
Speaker 1: they really give a great mouth satisfaction, so it's hard

153
00:06:49,279 --> 00:06:52,160
Speaker 1: to overeat them, whereas things like you said, those sort

154
00:06:52,160 --> 00:06:54,719
Speaker 1: of old school crackers or rice crackers. You know, in

155
00:06:54,760 --> 00:06:57,680
Speaker 1: ten rice crackers there's the equivalent carbohydrate of two slices

156
00:06:57,680 --> 00:06:59,480
Speaker 1: of bread. They've gotta be one of the most processed

157
00:07:00,080 --> 00:07:03,240
Speaker 1: nutritious food in the supermarket. Like there's nothing decent compared

158
00:07:03,279 --> 00:07:04,920
Speaker 1: to these. And one of my little boy loves these,

159
00:07:05,240 --> 00:07:07,240
Speaker 1: and I love that because they're so good and he's

160
00:07:07,240 --> 00:07:08,680
Speaker 1: getting some good fats from them, and there are a

161
00:07:08,680 --> 00:07:11,920
Speaker 1: million times better than traditional biscuits, which are basically a

162
00:07:11,920 --> 00:07:15,200
Speaker 1: mix of sugar, palm oil and refined white wheat flour.

163
00:07:15,360 --> 00:07:17,720
Speaker 1: So yeah, big thumbs up from me. I love this

164
00:07:17,800 --> 00:07:20,040
Speaker 1: brand and I use them all the time. Now, the

165
00:07:20,080 --> 00:07:22,840
Speaker 1: next brand is a client of mine who I'm an

166
00:07:22,840 --> 00:07:24,920
Speaker 1: ambassador for, so I will be very clear about that.

167
00:07:24,920 --> 00:07:28,360
Speaker 1: It's the Carmen Supersed and nut Roasted Almond and Sesame crackers,

168
00:07:28,360 --> 00:07:31,040
Speaker 1: and I do consult to Carmens, and I've been a

169
00:07:31,080 --> 00:07:33,600
Speaker 1: big fan of this fantastic austrained company for some time.

170
00:07:33,800 --> 00:07:36,520
Speaker 1: So maybe Leanne you take us through them, because I

171
00:07:36,560 --> 00:07:39,680
Speaker 1: am probably quite biased and they are quite different from

172
00:07:39,720 --> 00:07:42,080
Speaker 1: the Alina crackers we've looked at first, so you give

173
00:07:42,080 --> 00:07:43,840
Speaker 1: me your take on it first before I taint you

174
00:07:43,920 --> 00:07:45,320
Speaker 1: with my personal bias.

175
00:07:45,360 --> 00:07:48,120
Speaker 2: To be I do love Karmas. It's a brand that

176
00:07:48,120 --> 00:07:49,760
Speaker 2: I've known and loved for many years as well, and

177
00:07:49,800 --> 00:07:51,920
Speaker 2: I do use them, but I'm not an ambassador. Sadly,

178
00:07:51,960 --> 00:07:54,000
Speaker 2: I'm very jealous, Susie. So I will take you guys

179
00:07:54,000 --> 00:07:57,200
Speaker 2: through these crackers today. So we've got the Carmen Supersed

180
00:07:57,240 --> 00:07:59,840
Speaker 2: and nut Roasted Almond and Sesame crackers. So the box

181
00:07:59,920 --> 00:08:03,120
Speaker 2: is eighty grams and they're three dollars fifty at Woolworths

182
00:08:03,160 --> 00:08:05,880
Speaker 2: and Coals. So when we go through the ingredient list,

183
00:08:05,960 --> 00:08:09,280
Speaker 2: the first ingredient is seeds forty two percent seeds. That's

184
00:08:09,280 --> 00:08:11,800
Speaker 2: a really high proportion, a great fat profile. To kick

185
00:08:11,880 --> 00:08:14,320
Speaker 2: us off, we've got a mix of sunflour, sesame and

186
00:08:14,360 --> 00:08:18,120
Speaker 2: limb seeds. The next ingredient is a gluten free flower blend,

187
00:08:18,800 --> 00:08:21,800
Speaker 2: and then we've got chickpea, fababee and tapioca flour in there.

188
00:08:21,960 --> 00:08:25,400
Speaker 2: We've got some flour oil, some linseed meal, some almonds

189
00:08:25,440 --> 00:08:29,000
Speaker 2: at seven percent sea salt, garlic, and some natural antioxidants

190
00:08:29,040 --> 00:08:32,559
Speaker 2: being Rosemoo extractor round us off. So the alungs is

191
00:08:32,600 --> 00:08:36,280
Speaker 2: in here are almonds in sesame and maybe presents. Obviously

192
00:08:36,280 --> 00:08:38,680
Speaker 2: they're made on the same processing line as peanuts, soy

193
00:08:38,760 --> 00:08:41,040
Speaker 2: and tree nuts, so if you've sort of that nut

194
00:08:41,120 --> 00:08:43,839
Speaker 2: seed allergy, obviously being a nut and seed cracker, you'd

195
00:08:43,880 --> 00:08:46,080
Speaker 2: want to be very careful. But the benefit is here

196
00:08:46,080 --> 00:08:48,360
Speaker 2: that they are gluten free. It's a nice Aussie brand

197
00:08:48,400 --> 00:08:51,040
Speaker 2: and the ingredient list is very clean with the wonderful

198
00:08:51,080 --> 00:08:53,960
Speaker 2: fat profile. So just based on the ingredients, I can't

199
00:08:54,040 --> 00:08:56,600
Speaker 2: voult it and looking at the nutrition panel obviously again

200
00:08:56,600 --> 00:08:58,439
Speaker 2: we're going to compare per one hundred grams, so we're

201
00:08:58,440 --> 00:09:02,319
Speaker 2: comparing lu like to like nineteen hundred and forty kilodules,

202
00:09:02,760 --> 00:09:05,760
Speaker 2: fifteen point four grams of protein, thirty three point six

203
00:09:05,800 --> 00:09:09,040
Speaker 2: grams of fat, with only three point two being saturated,

204
00:09:09,320 --> 00:09:12,440
Speaker 2: a wonderful fat profile there, so a high percentage of fat,

205
00:09:12,600 --> 00:09:15,360
Speaker 2: but all of that being basically are good fats. Twenty

206
00:09:15,400 --> 00:09:18,160
Speaker 2: one point nine grams of carbohydrate, So for that whole box,

207
00:09:18,200 --> 00:09:21,280
Speaker 2: it's actually very low carbohydrate. That's a slice of thick

208
00:09:21,320 --> 00:09:24,760
Speaker 2: bread basically the equivalent carbohydrate because it is a higher

209
00:09:24,800 --> 00:09:27,680
Speaker 2: fat product, you know, predominantly it's coming from the seeds

210
00:09:27,760 --> 00:09:31,280
Speaker 2: versus actual the carbohydrate, with only one point six grams

211
00:09:31,280 --> 00:09:34,400
Speaker 2: of that being naturally occurring sugars, seven point seven grams

212
00:09:34,440 --> 00:09:37,360
Speaker 2: of dietary fiber, and five hundred and twenty one milligrams

213
00:09:37,400 --> 00:09:41,040
Speaker 2: of sodium, which sounds very high, but per serving, you know,

214
00:09:41,120 --> 00:09:44,040
Speaker 2: not too concerning. Put it that way. So I love

215
00:09:44,080 --> 00:09:46,040
Speaker 2: this product, and as you said, it is very different

216
00:09:46,120 --> 00:09:48,920
Speaker 2: to the alinas crackers, a very different sort of mouse

217
00:09:48,960 --> 00:09:51,720
Speaker 2: feel and texture. This is what I would call like

218
00:09:51,760 --> 00:09:53,840
Speaker 2: a healthy rice cracker. That's sort of how I would

219
00:09:53,840 --> 00:09:56,319
Speaker 2: describe it's more of that rice cracker type look and feel,

220
00:09:56,360 --> 00:09:58,600
Speaker 2: and when you crunch it, it's a lot crunchy. It's

221
00:09:58,640 --> 00:10:01,680
Speaker 2: sort of not as I guess, sort of thick and

222
00:10:01,760 --> 00:10:05,400
Speaker 2: harder to eat as what the first crackers would be like.

223
00:10:05,400 --> 00:10:07,920
Speaker 2: Alna's are my favorite crackers, but I always have something

224
00:10:08,000 --> 00:10:10,320
Speaker 2: like the Carmons Ones on a platter because my parents

225
00:10:10,360 --> 00:10:12,120
Speaker 2: both have dgies and they find it really hard. They

226
00:10:12,160 --> 00:10:14,280
Speaker 2: actually find the e Linux crackers a bit too hard

227
00:10:14,320 --> 00:10:16,240
Speaker 2: to sort of bite down and munch on. So I'm

228
00:10:16,240 --> 00:10:18,520
Speaker 2: a big fan of including something like the Alenas and

229
00:10:18,600 --> 00:10:21,040
Speaker 2: also a bit of a softer cracker like the Carmons

230
00:10:21,040 --> 00:10:22,840
Speaker 2: ones are just a little bit easier to chew if

231
00:10:22,840 --> 00:10:26,000
Speaker 2: people do have gentes or braces or anything like that,

232
00:10:26,080 --> 00:10:27,920
Speaker 2: so I'm a big fan of this as well. I

233
00:10:27,960 --> 00:10:30,560
Speaker 2: think the ingredient list and the fat profile is wonderful,

234
00:10:30,760 --> 00:10:34,280
Speaker 2: and again I think they just provide more satisfaction and

235
00:10:34,320 --> 00:10:37,560
Speaker 2: satiation to me versus like a plain wiss cracker, like

236
00:10:37,559 --> 00:10:40,640
Speaker 2: a you know, a sour cream flavored rice cracker, which

237
00:10:40,720 --> 00:10:43,480
Speaker 2: most people would really struggle not to eat. The entire packet,

238
00:10:43,520 --> 00:10:46,200
Speaker 2: myself included, because they are so Moorish and there's just

239
00:10:46,240 --> 00:10:49,720
Speaker 2: no sustenance there, like it's all just refined carbohydrate. And

240
00:10:49,720 --> 00:10:51,800
Speaker 2: most people will have that with like half a tuble

241
00:10:51,840 --> 00:10:54,320
Speaker 2: Homas and wonder why they're not losing weight. And there's like,

242
00:10:54,360 --> 00:10:56,400
Speaker 2: you know, four or five six hundred calories eating a

243
00:10:56,440 --> 00:10:58,360
Speaker 2: packet of rice crackers with half a tub of Homas.

244
00:10:58,640 --> 00:11:02,360
Speaker 1: So I ask Carolyn when I saw her recently why

245
00:11:02,520 --> 00:11:07,439
Speaker 1: they're packaged kind of funny, because like normally crackers are

246
00:11:07,480 --> 00:11:09,960
Speaker 1: in a like a tube like you get with the

247
00:11:10,000 --> 00:11:12,520
Speaker 1: Elena ones, you know, you've got like a decent and

248
00:11:12,520 --> 00:11:15,000
Speaker 1: I was always like, why are these in this funny

249
00:11:15,040 --> 00:11:17,160
Speaker 1: pack like it's three individuals, and you know what she

250
00:11:17,280 --> 00:11:20,640
Speaker 1: said to me, because they're designed for people who do

251
00:11:20,760 --> 00:11:23,040
Speaker 1: platters so you don't lose half of them and they

252
00:11:23,040 --> 00:11:26,400
Speaker 1: go stale. So they're designed to take out a few

253
00:11:26,679 --> 00:11:30,240
Speaker 1: and put on a platter and then reseal them so

254
00:11:30,280 --> 00:11:32,280
Speaker 1: you don't lose the freshness, which I thought is so

255
00:11:32,400 --> 00:11:36,119
Speaker 1: smart because I often throw out, you know, the Elenas

256
00:11:36,120 --> 00:11:38,000
Speaker 1: because I haven't used them all and they've gone stale

257
00:11:38,040 --> 00:11:40,120
Speaker 1: at the end. So that's a little bit of history,

258
00:11:40,200 --> 00:11:42,959
Speaker 1: is why they're packaged so differently. But I quite like

259
00:11:43,040 --> 00:11:45,679
Speaker 1: that because they're portion can control quite well. Because they

260
00:11:45,720 --> 00:11:48,880
Speaker 1: are a higher fat product, they're great fats, they're good fats.

261
00:11:48,880 --> 00:11:51,160
Speaker 1: They're fats that more Australians need to have as part

262
00:11:51,160 --> 00:11:54,800
Speaker 1: of their routine diet, but they're not insignificant calorie wise,

263
00:11:55,200 --> 00:11:58,360
Speaker 1: so keeping that portion it's sort of three to four

264
00:11:58,400 --> 00:12:01,560
Speaker 1: of that more chunky cracker is a really good reference

265
00:12:01,559 --> 00:12:04,240
Speaker 1: point for people as well, and as such they're very

266
00:12:04,240 --> 00:12:08,040
Speaker 1: affordable too, so you know, very strong Australian product, and

267
00:12:08,160 --> 00:12:10,280
Speaker 1: I know that you know, really common's are keen to

268
00:12:10,320 --> 00:12:13,360
Speaker 1: do more in this healthy snacking space. So I think

269
00:12:13,400 --> 00:12:15,480
Speaker 1: all of them, any of these are fantastic and they're

270
00:12:15,480 --> 00:12:17,559
Speaker 1: adding those really good fats to the diet. But yeah,

271
00:12:17,640 --> 00:12:20,040
Speaker 1: that's why they're designed like this differently in the market

272
00:12:20,080 --> 00:12:22,360
Speaker 1: to keep them fresh so you don't end up throwing

273
00:12:22,360 --> 00:12:24,640
Speaker 1: any your way, which is something sort of a downside

274
00:12:24,679 --> 00:12:28,520
Speaker 1: of sometimes when we open boxes of crackers. Interesting, all right, Well,

275
00:12:28,559 --> 00:12:32,560
Speaker 1: the third product is one about Audi products, and I

276
00:12:32,600 --> 00:12:35,120
Speaker 1: actually like this product too because it ticks the box

277
00:12:35,120 --> 00:12:36,880
Speaker 1: on something that we didn't get from the other one.

278
00:12:36,960 --> 00:12:40,000
Speaker 1: So it's the Demora gluten free raisin and pumpkin seed.

279
00:12:40,040 --> 00:12:43,160
Speaker 1: Now I am hastened to say that these are possibly

280
00:12:43,200 --> 00:12:45,680
Speaker 1: made by Elena. And the only reason I say that

281
00:12:45,760 --> 00:12:48,840
Speaker 1: is that they're so very similar these crackers that you

282
00:12:48,920 --> 00:12:52,079
Speaker 1: do find in AUDI to the Alena brand, and often

283
00:12:52,400 --> 00:12:55,840
Speaker 1: different free companies will be making them under the Audi label.

284
00:12:55,920 --> 00:12:58,560
Speaker 1: But the difference is these are a good and free variety,

285
00:12:58,720 --> 00:13:00,760
Speaker 1: so they're really an Alena's. Do you have a gluten

286
00:13:00,760 --> 00:13:02,559
Speaker 1: free variety of crackers like this that you'll find in

287
00:13:02,600 --> 00:13:04,640
Speaker 1: the health feed section of Boos and Coals? So I

288
00:13:04,679 --> 00:13:07,400
Speaker 1: suspect it's the same product, and the price points not dissimilarly,

289
00:13:07,480 --> 00:13:09,600
Speaker 1: and you know this is quite expensive for an AUDI product,

290
00:13:09,600 --> 00:13:13,920
Speaker 1: so their quality is reference there. So the first ingredients

291
00:13:13,960 --> 00:13:17,560
Speaker 1: of rice flour followed by tapiocre starch, flax seeds raisins

292
00:13:17,559 --> 00:13:20,160
Speaker 1: at twelve point eight percent, so very similar profile to

293
00:13:20,200 --> 00:13:22,240
Speaker 1: the first product, with the exception of the gluten free

294
00:13:22,720 --> 00:13:27,440
Speaker 1: flower based may start honey pumpkin seeds at seven point

295
00:13:27,440 --> 00:13:30,640
Speaker 1: five percent, so again incredibly high load of high A

296
00:13:30,640 --> 00:13:35,120
Speaker 1: Mega three plant based papeeds. Greek yogurt. Again this has

297
00:13:35,160 --> 00:13:39,199
Speaker 1: to be my botoliners. This is their formulation raising agents,

298
00:13:39,200 --> 00:13:43,360
Speaker 1: salt thigner, some emulsifiers, bits and pieces to keep them

299
00:13:43,400 --> 00:13:47,240
Speaker 1: sort of crunchy, but again you can't really fault them,

300
00:13:47,240 --> 00:13:50,800
Speaker 1: particularly for a gluten free product. It's still one hundred

301
00:13:50,880 --> 00:13:55,640
Speaker 1: gram box and similar seventeen thirty kilodules, four hundred and

302
00:13:55,640 --> 00:13:58,440
Speaker 1: fourteen calories for the entire box, nine point one grams

303
00:13:58,480 --> 00:14:01,200
Speaker 1: of protein, like almost identical to the first product we've

304
00:14:01,200 --> 00:14:04,080
Speaker 1: seen in a gluten free variety, eleven point three grams

305
00:14:04,080 --> 00:14:06,760
Speaker 1: of fat, less than three percent saturated at two point

306
00:14:06,840 --> 00:14:10,400
Speaker 1: one sixty five point one total carbs, twenty two point

307
00:14:10,400 --> 00:14:13,160
Speaker 1: five percent total sugar is coming from that dried fruit.

308
00:14:13,200 --> 00:14:15,920
Speaker 1: The raisins six point six grams of dietary fiber and

309
00:14:15,960 --> 00:14:20,480
Speaker 1: relatively low sodium sixty sixty milligrams to that entire box. So,

310
00:14:21,120 --> 00:14:23,760
Speaker 1: whether it's the Alina gluten Free or at the Demora,

311
00:14:23,840 --> 00:14:26,600
Speaker 1: which is the Audi brand, very similar price point again

312
00:14:26,720 --> 00:14:28,520
Speaker 1: for people who need to eat or choose to eat

313
00:14:28,560 --> 00:14:34,280
Speaker 1: gluten free, A really really strong product nutritionally. Yeah, I can't.

314
00:14:34,360 --> 00:14:36,400
Speaker 1: I've got nothing bad to say. I can't falt it.

315
00:14:36,440 --> 00:14:38,080
Speaker 1: I think it's a really strong product.

316
00:14:38,640 --> 00:14:40,560
Speaker 2: And it's interesting that they've got two and a half

317
00:14:40,600 --> 00:14:42,640
Speaker 2: health Stars, And I think you have to really be

318
00:14:43,040 --> 00:14:45,080
Speaker 2: aware of what makes up the hell Stars and what

319
00:14:45,160 --> 00:14:48,520
Speaker 2: drops you know, you from the ratings as such. So

320
00:14:48,800 --> 00:14:51,480
Speaker 2: like because of the addition of the added sugar plus

321
00:14:51,520 --> 00:14:54,160
Speaker 2: the natural sugar from things like raisins, that would have

322
00:14:54,200 --> 00:14:57,120
Speaker 2: dropped them down in terms of the health Stars I imagine,

323
00:14:57,160 --> 00:14:59,840
Speaker 2: and the higher fat percentage even though it is good.

324
00:15:00,080 --> 00:15:03,720
Speaker 2: That's the health Stars are skewed more towards lower fat products.

325
00:15:03,720 --> 00:15:07,120
Speaker 2: So they're losing health Stars basically because of some of

326
00:15:07,160 --> 00:15:09,200
Speaker 2: the added sugars. And let's be honest, there is some

327
00:15:09,240 --> 00:15:12,040
Speaker 2: added sugars in there. I just think they wouldn't taste

328
00:15:12,040 --> 00:15:14,520
Speaker 2: anyone here as good if they didn't have the added sugars.

329
00:15:14,640 --> 00:15:16,640
Speaker 2: I just think there would be more of that. I

330
00:15:16,640 --> 00:15:18,760
Speaker 2: don't know, ZUZI helped me out here a cardboard type

331
00:15:18,840 --> 00:15:20,920
Speaker 2: taste if they didn't have a little bit of that

332
00:15:20,960 --> 00:15:23,080
Speaker 2: sweetness to it. So some of it's natural from the fruit,

333
00:15:23,160 --> 00:15:25,280
Speaker 2: some of it is added, but it's just such a

334
00:15:25,320 --> 00:15:29,280
Speaker 2: small amount, so small overall though, you know, in this

335
00:15:29,480 --> 00:15:32,200
Speaker 2: kind of product and content. Yeah, it's a couple of ground.

336
00:15:32,200 --> 00:15:34,360
Speaker 1: I'm just having a look, Leanne, because that's a really

337
00:15:34,360 --> 00:15:36,440
Speaker 1: good point about the health Stars. How many health stars

338
00:15:36,440 --> 00:15:39,360
Speaker 1: are on jets now. I grew up with jets. We

339
00:15:39,440 --> 00:15:42,320
Speaker 1: had them literally every day after school with butter and vegemite,

340
00:15:42,480 --> 00:15:45,400
Speaker 1: and let's be honest, they're nutritionally they're kind of more

341
00:15:45,440 --> 00:15:49,280
Speaker 1: like cake than a cracker. Now I reckon they don't

342
00:15:49,640 --> 00:15:51,920
Speaker 1: the best of my knowledge, I'm looking don't have the

343
00:15:51,920 --> 00:15:54,600
Speaker 1: health Star on them because it's not compulsory for companies

344
00:15:54,640 --> 00:15:57,360
Speaker 1: to put it on. But I think they'd come in

345
00:15:57,400 --> 00:16:01,040
Speaker 1: at one or two, right, that would be my which

346
00:16:01,120 --> 00:16:04,280
Speaker 1: means that you're comparing a jat set one or two

347
00:16:04,520 --> 00:16:07,360
Speaker 1: to this at two. It is so misleading because this

348
00:16:07,520 --> 00:16:12,040
Speaker 1: nutritionally is so much better as offering good fats and

349
00:16:12,680 --> 00:16:17,880
Speaker 1: a food that is encouraging people to savor. And that's

350
00:16:17,920 --> 00:16:20,680
Speaker 1: the issue with health Star rating. Basically, it's not discerning

351
00:16:20,760 --> 00:16:23,040
Speaker 1: enough in terms of category of food or good fats

352
00:16:23,080 --> 00:16:25,600
Speaker 1: which you're getting a good dose of from products like this,

353
00:16:25,800 --> 00:16:28,760
Speaker 1: so they can be This is a classic example of

354
00:16:28,760 --> 00:16:31,720
Speaker 1: where the health Star needs a lot of work in

355
00:16:31,840 --> 00:16:36,920
Speaker 1: terms of differentiating products that are in context actually really

356
00:16:36,960 --> 00:16:39,320
Speaker 1: good compared to products that are like a two health

357
00:16:39,320 --> 00:16:40,560
Speaker 1: Star is a terrible product.

358
00:16:40,560 --> 00:16:41,800
Speaker 2: This is not a terrible product.

359
00:16:42,040 --> 00:16:44,240
Speaker 1: So this is one of the strongest gluten free crackers

360
00:16:44,240 --> 00:16:46,800
Speaker 1: available and it's coming in at two health stars, Like,

361
00:16:46,840 --> 00:16:47,880
Speaker 1: how is that even possible?

362
00:16:47,960 --> 00:16:50,800
Speaker 2: Yeah, And I chose this specifically because it is gluten free.

363
00:16:50,840 --> 00:16:52,680
Speaker 2: It is a little bit of a cheaper price point

364
00:16:52,760 --> 00:16:55,000
Speaker 2: being found at Aliti compared to calls and will Worst,

365
00:16:55,120 --> 00:16:57,400
Speaker 2: and it does suit our ciliacs who need it all

366
00:16:57,440 --> 00:17:00,680
Speaker 2: some of those some of our clients who are you know, intolerant,

367
00:17:00,680 --> 00:17:02,640
Speaker 2: and they do want a more of a gluten free cracker,

368
00:17:02,760 --> 00:17:05,240
Speaker 2: and it is that sort of more specialty cracker range.

369
00:17:05,240 --> 00:17:07,280
Speaker 2: It is delicious. It is something that it is a

370
00:17:07,359 --> 00:17:09,640
Speaker 2: high price point, but it is something that's really nice

371
00:17:09,680 --> 00:17:12,520
Speaker 2: to include as part of a really nice, bougie sort

372
00:17:12,520 --> 00:17:14,680
Speaker 2: of cheese platter. So I absolutely love it. I've tried

373
00:17:14,680 --> 00:17:17,840
Speaker 2: the gluten free variety and their non gluten free variety

374
00:17:17,880 --> 00:17:20,000
Speaker 2: as well, and I think they're both super super strong.

375
00:17:20,119 --> 00:17:22,000
Speaker 2: And as we said, Susie, we need more of that

376
00:17:22,119 --> 00:17:25,360
Speaker 2: better fat mix or fat profile through our diet as

377
00:17:25,359 --> 00:17:28,440
Speaker 2: a strains, because we're just getting far too much saturated

378
00:17:28,520 --> 00:17:31,000
Speaker 2: fat and trans fat. So whatever we see products with

379
00:17:31,400 --> 00:17:34,800
Speaker 2: flex seeds and linseeds and pumpkin seeds and cheer seeds included,

380
00:17:34,880 --> 00:17:37,199
Speaker 2: we are hands down most of the time going to

381
00:17:37,280 --> 00:17:39,160
Speaker 2: recommend them. Yes, it has a little bit of added

382
00:17:39,200 --> 00:17:41,760
Speaker 2: sugars in it, but I think for the large bulk

383
00:17:41,800 --> 00:17:43,919
Speaker 2: of the positives that you're getting out of these products,

384
00:17:43,960 --> 00:17:47,240
Speaker 2: a healthy fat profile, the fiber, even a small amount

385
00:17:47,280 --> 00:17:50,240
Speaker 2: of protein because of those seeds as well, far out

386
00:17:50,240 --> 00:17:51,840
Speaker 2: weighed the fact that we've got a couple of grams

387
00:17:51,880 --> 00:17:53,720
Speaker 2: of added sugar in here. And if you're sitting down

388
00:17:53,760 --> 00:17:55,760
Speaker 2: to this with some cheese and a couple of veggie

389
00:17:55,800 --> 00:17:58,000
Speaker 2: sticks and a bit of you know, some lened dips,

390
00:17:58,160 --> 00:17:59,720
Speaker 2: I think that's going to be far better than just

391
00:17:59,760 --> 00:18:03,000
Speaker 2: having a bowl, you know, bowls of chips and chocolate

392
00:18:03,080 --> 00:18:06,120
Speaker 2: and you know, wine and alcohol on a Sunday night.

393
00:18:06,200 --> 00:18:09,040
Speaker 2: So we're much better, you know, to recommend products like this,

394
00:18:09,359 --> 00:18:11,000
Speaker 2: even if there is a little bit of added shoes

395
00:18:11,000 --> 00:18:12,960
Speaker 2: in there. And that's my view anyway, one hundred percent.

396
00:18:12,960 --> 00:18:14,040
Speaker 1: And as I said, this would be one of the

397
00:18:14,040 --> 00:18:17,159
Speaker 1: strongest crackers nutritionally for those who have Silly Act disease

398
00:18:17,640 --> 00:18:20,800
Speaker 1: and as such, for that group of people, it's misleading

399
00:18:20,880 --> 00:18:22,719
Speaker 1: to give it to health styles. So you do need

400
00:18:22,760 --> 00:18:24,480
Speaker 1: to be careful. And that's why initial listen to the

401
00:18:24,560 --> 00:18:27,280
Speaker 1: nutrition coutually AM because we're much more discerning when it

402
00:18:27,280 --> 00:18:30,000
Speaker 1: comes to recommendations and our justifications for why, and we

403
00:18:30,040 --> 00:18:32,560
Speaker 1: will let our listeners know that what we're working on

404
00:18:32,600 --> 00:18:35,479
Speaker 1: at the moment is a product manual, so we're actually

405
00:18:35,520 --> 00:18:39,320
Speaker 1: going to put together all of our key recommendations across categories,

406
00:18:39,640 --> 00:18:41,920
Speaker 1: so making it easier for our listeners to go through

407
00:18:41,960 --> 00:18:44,760
Speaker 1: and say, you know, why do we choose these products?

408
00:18:44,760 --> 00:18:48,359
Speaker 1: You know? And how can you easily have a reference

409
00:18:48,400 --> 00:18:49,960
Speaker 1: point to that? So that is in the works and

410
00:18:50,000 --> 00:18:51,280
Speaker 1: we'll be out before the end of the year, so

411
00:18:51,400 --> 00:18:54,200
Speaker 1: watch this space particularly, and I've just thought to myself,

412
00:18:54,240 --> 00:18:56,000
Speaker 1: then we need to include a whole gluten free section,

413
00:18:56,080 --> 00:18:58,359
Speaker 1: which we you haven't done, so that's just a little

414
00:18:58,359 --> 00:19:00,760
Speaker 1: bit more work for you brand to if you're listening,

415
00:19:01,080 --> 00:19:02,800
Speaker 1: that will be coming your way in the next few weeks,

416
00:19:02,800 --> 00:19:04,679
Speaker 1: so look forward to that. That brings us to the

417
00:19:04,760 --> 00:19:07,280
Speaker 1: end of the Nutrition Couch product review. If you haven't
