Advantages Healthy, tasty, cheap

Disadvantages None

Sometimes I decide to eat more healthy food and buy products that I try only once. But a few weeks ago in my local SuperValu I noticed new crispbread so bought one packet to try. Loved them so bought more from Sainsbury’s. They are Real Foods Corn Thins Original.

ABOUT REAL FOODS

Real Foods Corn Thins Original
Real Foods is an Australian, family operated company invented in 1980 by Michael Pels. They produce and sell popped-grain crispbread. The company is based in Sydney, Australia and employs 100 people. They started producing rice cakes but have been continuously developing and improving the whole production process. From 1985 they have been manufacturing and developing their own rice cake machines. And in 1996 the new product line – Corn Thins, a natural, low fat crispbread made from popped corn, was launched. It was an especially successful product which started competing with similar products made by larger Australian and International companies. Now Corn Thins produced by Real Foods are the best sold crispbread in Australia!

For a few years Real Foods were consolidating in Australian market. But in 1999 they started exporting to New Zealand, a bit later to South Africa, United States, Canada, UK, Israel, Hong Kong, Korea and the United Arab Emirates.

CORN THINS

This is how Real Foods present their Corn Thins Original on packaging: “Real Foods Corn Thins are the best tasting wholegrain crispbread you can buy. Made with a great recipe for maximum crunch and flavour, they taste sensational on their own or with any number of delicious toppings. Our Original Corn Thins are made simply by popping grains of maize under high temperature. With more dietary fibre per gram than wholemeal bread, and 85% less fat than the leading brands of corn chips, Real Foods Corn Thins really are good for you.”

Produced in these varieties: Original, Sesame, Cracked Pepper & Lemon, Soy & Linseed, Multigrain, BBQ flavoured, Tasty Cheese flavoured, Sour Cream & Chives flavoured, Feta & Sun dried Tomato flavoured and also Rice Thins.

WHY I BOUGHT THEM

There are a few reasons why I chose Real Foods Corn Thins Original:
- Saw them for the first time in our SuperValu.
- I was looking for something healthy and low-fat. And this crispbread sounded great: 97% fat free, gluten free, high in fibre (10% dietary fibre), GMO free, no added sugar, no artificial flavours, colours or preservatives!
- Corn Thins are new and different as usually you buy rice cakes and these were made from popped corn.
- Simple curiosity because they were called “Thins”.

PACKAGING

Each Real Foods Crisp Thins packet comes in double packaging: cellophane bag with a resealable plastic closure and a sealed foil bag with crispbread inside. Outer cellophane bag is coloured with yellow and blue stripes, there are pics of corn grains and of a Corn Thin with a topping on it. All product and nutritional information is placed on the back of the packaging.

I especially liked that closure to keep crispbread fresh and crispy. I’ve never seen a closure like this before, so I’m keeping them from each packet of Corn Thins and use for bread bags!
