Meet the pimped version of hummus. This union has taken my tastebuds (and inability to stop snacking) to a whole new level. What’s more is that with every bite you are fueling your system with beta-carotene, fiber, vitamin C, vitamin E, potassium, and protein (which barely scratches the surface of its nutritional resume). So sit back, buckle up and get your Best Seed Crackers ready because your tastebuds are about to take off!
