A naturally gluten-free seed that’s good for you, and good for the earth.
We chose buckwheat as the base ingredient for all our products, because...
The name buckwheat is a little confusing, we know!
But it’s actually a gluten-free, nutrient-rich seed that’s more closely related to rhubarb and strawberries than wheat.
As long as it’s handled in a certified gluten-free facility (ahem, like ours!), then it’s 100% safe for folks who want to remove or reduce gluten from their diet.

Back when Karen, Maine Crisp Founder, started searching for delicious gluten-free crackers, she couldn’t find anything on the market with the right healthy ingredients, taste, and crunch.
So, she decided to create some for herself.

Soon she realized she could do better by people who have food restrictions, and make them something that truly tastes good...
