I loved triscuits, so these help satisfy my cracker craving. They are bland. My recipe for them to improve the flavor is to brush them with olive oil and add sea salt and fresh ground pepper and bake them just to warm them and allow the olive oil to bake into the crackers. They are great for dipping in your favorite low carb dips or placing cheese on them. They are my go to snack when I'm having a cracker craving. Plus they are very filling due to the fiber and help with appetitie control.

Thanks for the ideas, Carly! That sounds good.

Here's the scoop on the gram count of these crisps, and why they show 3 gms of fiber and 3 gms of carbs. It's because they come from Europe, and they have already deducted the fiber from the carb count. Here's a quote from a website that explains many things low carb:

"But even here, a lot of caution is required. That's because labeling laws outside United States often treat fiber differently. In many European countries, fiber is already deducted from the label's total carb count. For example, imported Scandinavian bran crackers that list 3 grams of carbohydrate and 3 grams of fiber do not contain zero grams of carbohydrate. If they followed U.S. labeling conventions, their labels would show 6 grams of carbohydrate and 3 grams of fiber, since the European labels have already deducted the fiber from the total. This is also true of many imported chocolates."

I found the site from a post by Sandra (randysgrandma) in the Diabetic Low-Carbers forum. So, if we are using products from Europe, then we need to be alert to what the actual carb counts are in these product. These bran crisps are apparently 3 gms each, so for some of us, not such a great choice unless we are having only one at a time.
