Friday Food Face Off: Ginger Snaps vs. SPELT Ginger Snaps
Even rehabbers can allow themselves some treats without breaking the rules. If you like a few biscuits with your tea, then I highly recommend ShaSha Co. Spelt Ginger Snaps.
Not only are they certified organic snaps, but they do not contain trans fats and are cholesterol free. There is a warning on the bag that there may be traces of egg and soy, but for the average rehabber I think these are okay.
To look at, the ShaSha snaps are quite different from ‘regular’ ginger snaps. There are no sparkling sugar crystals, they are considerably smaller (and heart-shaped). Since they do not contain much molasses they are pale and not quite as appealing to look at.
It goes without saying that they are pricier (about $1.00 more), but they have considerably less sugar, calories and fat. Obviously, these snaps are treats and I will not eat them every day, but I thought it was a good fit for a face off.
The final verdict: Thumbs Up for ShaSha Ginger Snaps.
