ARE these OK to use ?

Dr. In The Kitchen - makers of flackers® - flax seed crackers, a gluten free food - high in Omega-3 fatty acids and fiber. Flackers® are sprouted and dehydrated, so they are a raw food product. Flackers®

What are the ingredients?

In looking at the ingredients, I'd eat them sparingly - especially the fruit ones. But they look OK for Ph2

How funny - I just saw these for the first time at Whole Foods so I bought them. I got the "dill" flavored ones (the word "dill" is very hard to read on the package and I would not have chosen this flavor if I had seen that). They are seriously weird but I like them!

The ingredients for the dill flavor are just flax seeds (whole), vinegar, liquid aminos and some herbs (dill and red pepper). I considered this fine as whole flax seeds are essentially undigestible ... but then I question whether or not to bother, as you would be missing out on all the benefits of flax seed...

I am looking at recipes to make these in a dehydrator. There is discussion in the raw food boards that soaking flax seed makes them more digestible. Though this is getting away from the OP's question...

3 TBS/1 oz of flax seeds are allowed in Phase 1 (as the one nut/seed serving per day), which is approximately the serving size of Flackers (25 g) = 6. As long as they are the simple ones. I didn't see any at Whole Foods with additions such as fruit, but as Jenn said, that would be for Phase 2.

They look fine to me as long as you stick with a serving size. I would save the cinnamon and currant ones for Phase 2, though, although the amount of currants in a serving probably don't amount to much.
