Trader Joe’s Thin Mini Rice Crackers –
I love these and buy them all the time.
Trader Joe’s sells a number of Japanese style crackers which are made from rice. In Japan crackers made from rice are very popular and are called senbei of which there are perhaps a hundred varieties. TJ’s sells about 3 or 4 different kinds of rice crackers.
These are called Savory Mini Thin Rice Crackers and they’re really tasty and really good. I just love them. They are about the size of a quarter. They’re incredibly crunchy and are delicious as a snack by themselves as well as equally delicious used like any cracker. Spread something on them, some cheese or spread or peanut butter and jam. Top them with a slice of ham, cheese, or whatever you want. If you are someone who is Gluten Free (I’m not) these are primarily made from rice. Ingredients listed are : rice flour, sesame seeds, safflower oil, tamari soy sauce powder, maltodextrin, salt and garlic powder. These light colored ones are $3.49 a bag (8 oz). There’s another multiseed kind (with Tamari) that are darker that are also good and are $3.99.
According to the Nutrition facts label there are 130 calories in 38 crackers! So pretty Low Calorie as far as snacks go and not heavy in the Sodium department either. So I’d say this is a pretty healthy snack as far as crackers you can buy.

Why did you discontinue these? They were our favorites!

I called them today to check on whether they have them back in stock. According to their records, they haven’t been discontinued, rather they are having issues in the supply chain and are looking for alternatives. While a number of their products get cycled out, I’ve been buying these at TJ’s for over 25 years without them ever being cut from their product line. I’m sure they will come back when/if our production and distribution chains have been restored to some semblance of normalcy. Fingers crossed.

Thank you for adding this info, which echoes what my local Trader Joe’s told me. It may take a while for them to find a new source/supplier, but we’ll hopefully see them again in the future. Better than “discontinued”. Their CARNITAS vanished for a year or more, while they found a new supplier, but it eventually came back.
