Since gluten free bread is pretty much dreadful we sought out some "options" to try to make my son his peanut butter and jelly sandwiches that he enjoys. First we used rice cakes but when you use 2 cakes (one for top and one for bottom) it makes for quite a mouthful. When we were home over Thanksgiving my mother had picked up these Corn Thins from Real Foods and I'm hooked.

About Real Foods Organic Corn Thins Flax/Soy flavor

I have only been able to find these corn thins at natural and health food stores. They cost approximately $3.99 per bag. They are packaged in a plastic bag like rice-cakes are with 2 bags of corn thin inside sealed for freshness. If you are wondering what a corn thin is, think rice cake but thinner. These corn thins are made with popped corn and added flax and soy to them. Corn thins has a few different varieties including flavored, multigrain and more. All of their varieties are Gluten Free and contain natural ingredients.

Specifically the Soy/Flax (Soy/linseed) version:
Gluten Free
GMO free
All natural ingredients
No preservatives
No artificial coloring

Ingredients:
MAIZE (93%)
LINSEED (4%)
SOY (2%)
SEA SALT

Contains 11% of dietary fiber



Corn Thins are thin, crunchy, and pretty tasty as far as "rice cakes" go. To me these taste like crackers made from unsalted popcorn. They aren't anything I would want to eat without a topping but in a pinch they can serve as a crunchy snack. Mostly, we use these for sandwiches. Because they are thin, they substitute well for sandwich bread. Whereas if I make my son a sandwich on regular rice cakes the kid can barely get his mouth around it - these work much better. The corn thins are sturdy and don't break when I'm spreading peanut butter (from my fridge) on them - which I appreciate. The only real negative is that because they are slightly smaller than sandwich bread, I often have to make my son two sandwiches instead of one. At $4 a bag, we could go through these frequently with the rate that he likes to eat sandwiches so I only buy these occasionally. When we have corn thins in the house, they do not last long at all. If you are looking for a gluten free bread subsitute, try your sandwich on Corn Thins!
