The idea for this green chia nut cracker recipe came from a few factors I had been thinking of. First I needed some crackers and wanted to use chia to bind the ingredients, instead of flax, as I often use in crackers.

So to create a base like rice, the best way I have found to do it is with parsnip or cauliflower. || Read more
