Enjoy Life Crunchy Flax Cereal 10 oz. (Pack of 12)

Those who transfer to a gluten-free diet know that getting enough fiber in their diets is a challenge. Perky's Crunchy Flax Cereal is the highest fiber gluten free cold cereal I've found (6 grams or 24% of your daily allowance in a 3/4 cup serving). (Please let me know if you've found others with 6 grams or more of fiber a serving!) For its fiber content, it gets raves! As a person who takes medication that leads to constipation and who can't eat many different fruits because I have interstitial cystitis, it's impossible to get enough fiber with fruits and vegetables alone. So, I eat this cereal every day and sometimes twice a day.

I used to eat some great high fiber cereals before going gluten free. While this cereal is a lifesaver because it is high fiber, the taste leaves something to be desired. The ingredients in the cereal are sorghum flour, ground flax seed, raisin juice, honey, and salt. That's it. I'm thrilled there aren't a bunch of preservatives and artificial things in the cereal, but I wish they'd work on improving the taste of this cereal and perhaps making it available in various flavors. As is, the cereal tastes a bit like a bland version of grape nuts. I've tried adding fruit and it helps a bit. The best I've been able to make it taste is by adding a little stevia for more sweetness and come ceylon cinnamon (safer than regular cinnamon for those with IC) to it, but that blah taste still breaks through.

The cereal stays super crunchy in milk for awhile before getting softer good or bad, depending on what you like. There's 200 calories in that 3/4 cup serving, which is a bit high, but you are getting a lot of omega 3 fatty oils from the flax seed, so that's a nice trade off.

Aside from the taste, this is a great cereal. But come on, don't we want our cereal to taste good? That's the reason for the 3-star rating.

Perky's Crunchy Flax Cereal arrived timely as stated. I like the taste of the cereal with and with out milk. It does stay crunchy in the milk.

This crunchy flax cereal is wonderful! I love crisp cereals, but most of the gluten free products quickly absorb liquid and become soggy. I add some of the crispy flax and promptly get my crunching satisfaction. I highly recommend this tasty cereal and it is available from Amazon!
