Cult Crackers Classic Seed Crackers: Named Best Gluten-Free Crackers by Good Housekeeping
In 2021, the experts at Good Housekeeping tested countless products in their quest to find the year’s best of the best. We’re proud to say that out of all the contenders, our Classic Seed Crackers came out on top in the gluten-free cracker category.Being recognized by Good Housekeeping in their Best Tested Products of 2021 is a true honor, as it shows that our crackers stood up to rigorous testing for both taste and quality.
Our crunchy seed crackers earned high marks for their delicious flavor, satisfying crunch, and nutritious ingredients. Good Housekeeping’s taste testers loved that our bites are made with 6 powerhouse seeds: chia, hemp, flax, sesame, sunflower, and pumpkin, with each bite "packing a serious nutritional punch”. It’s not every day that a hand-baked artisanal cracker gets praised by a 120-year-old institution known for testing products, so this recognition truly validates our commitment to making the best gluten-free snack around.
Why Classic Seed Crackers Stood Out
So, what makes our Classic Seed Crackers worthy of this award? We believe there are a few key ingredients to our success:
-
Six Super Seeds for Nutrition & Flavor: Each cracker is generously loaded with chia, hemp, flax, sesame, sunflower, and pumpkin seeds. This unique blend isn’t just for show. It creates an incredible flavor and crunch, and delivers protein, fiber, and healthy fats in every bite. Good Housekeeping appreciated that our nutrient-dense recipe offers a serious nutritional punch while still tasting good.
-
Hand-Baked Craftsmanship: We bake our crackers in small batches by hand in Berkeley, California, which gives them a homemade touch that mass-produced crackers just don’t have. This artisan approach results in a cracker that’s perfectly crispy, fresh, and made with care. Good Housekeeping’s testers noticed the difference. The flavor and texture hits that ideal balance of wholesome and delicious.
-
Versatile and Crowd-Pleasing: Our Classic Seed Crackers are a hit on their own or paired with your favorite cheeses, dips, soups, and spreads. Good Housekeeping highlighted them as an ideal gluten-free choice for cheese boards and snacks alike. They’re savory and sturdy enough to complement toppings, yet tasty enough to enjoy straight from the bag (we certainly do!) This versatility helped our crackers shine during testing. They please both gluten-free eaters and regular cracker lovers in any setting.
Rooted in Organic, Sustainable Values
Winning an award is wonderful, but it’s even more meaningful because of how we make our crackers. At Cult Crackers, we’ve always believed that doing things the right way, with quality and conscience, leads to a better product. Here are some core values baked into every bite of our Classic Seed Crackers:
-

Good Housekeeping has long championed wholesome ingredients, and we’re proud that our ingredient list aligns with that ethos. Our crackers are Certified Organic, so you know you’re snacking on the very best nature has to offer.
-
Woman-Owned and Women-Powered: Cult Crackers is a small business founded and operated by women, and we take pride in that. Empowerment and passion are part of our recipe. Our team of four women puts love and dedication into each batch of crackers.
-
Sustainability and Craft: We are a green-certified business which means we pursue eco-friendly practices in our kitchen. We also offer our crackers in bulk at select shops to reduce packaging waste. From sourcing to baking to packaging, sustainability is always on our mind. Our goal is to be a force for good through food. Something Good Housekeeping recognized in our approach.
-
