About these crackers
Nairn's Gluten Free Original Oatcakes, in brief.
Nairn's Gluten Free Original Oatcakes are plain Scottish oatcakes made with 90% gluten free wholegrain oats, palm fruit oil, sea salt and raising agents. Four ingredients, one of them almost the whole recipe.
They are the gluten free cheese board staple: nutty, crumbly and plain enough for any cheese, with 8.4g of fibre per 100g on the label data. One oatcake is 9g.
Oats are the whole story of an oatcake, and this one is 90% gluten free wholegrain oats. Gluten free oats are grown and handled away from wheat, barley and rye, which is what lets people avoiding gluten enjoy a proper oatcake.
The rest of the recipe is there to hold the oats together and season them: palm fruit oil, sea salt and sodium and ammonium bicarbonate. The result is a nutty, toasted, slightly rough round that suits almost any cheese.

Taste and texture
Expect a toasted oat flavour, a light saltiness (1.62g per 100g) and a crumbly, rough texture. Sugars are 0.8g per 100g and fat 22.8g per 100g on the label data.
What is in it
Gluten free wholegrain oats (90%), sustainable palm fruit oil, sea salt and raising agents (sodium bicarbonate, ammonium bicarbonate). No allergen is declared in the ingredient list. Some people who avoid gluten also react to avenin, a protein in oats.
Serving it
Oatcakes and strong cheese belong together: mature Cheddar, Stilton, a crumbly Lancashire or a soft goat's cheese. They are also good with butter and marmalade, or with pâté and smoked fish.

The story behind Nairn's
Nairn's story begins in 1896, when John and Sarah Nairn opened their bakery in Strathaven, a market town in Lanarkshire. Today Nairn's bakes in Edinburgh, and oats are the whole point: oatcakes rough and fine, cheese oatcakes, seeded and organic oatcakes, and a gluten free range. The oatcake is the Scottish cracker, mostly wholegrain oats with a little oil and salt, baked into a nutty, crumbly round that loves strong cheese; Nairn's Rough Oatcakes list 90% wholegrain oats. The gluten free oatcakes, crackers and flatbreads are made with gluten free oats, and Nairn's own label notes that some people who avoid gluten also react to avenin, a protein in oats.
Packaging: a 213g pack. Once the pack is open, fold it tightly closed or tip the crackers into an airtight tin, and keep them somewhere cool and dry. Damp air is what softens a cracker. The pack gives the best before date.
