Nairn's On the Go Fruit & Seed Oatcakes, 225g
A lightly sweet snack oatcake with currants and flaxseed: made for the bag, and very good with Wensleydale.
Nairn's On the Go Fruit & Seed Oatcakes, in brief.
Nairn's On the Go Fruit and Seed Oatcakes are oatcakes with currants (12%) and brown flaxseeds (6%), made with 68% wholegrain oats and a little brown sugar. The pack carries vegan and vegetarian claims.
They are sweeter than a savoury oatcake (16g of sugars per 100g on the label data) and lower in salt at 0.52g per 100g, a snack oatcake for the bag. One oatcake is 12.5g.
Fruit and oats is a natural match, and this oatcake is made for snacking. Currants and brown flaxseeds go into a wholegrain oat dough with a little brown sugar, so each oatcake is lightly sweet, fruity and nutty at once.
It is not the oatcake for a strong blue cheese, but it is very good with a mild Cheddar or Wensleydale, and on its own as a mid morning snack.

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 225g 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.
