seed crackers
Unless what you’re buying consists mostly of minimally processed, whole-food ingredients (like these seed crackers), the carbs in packaged foods tend to be processed. They may have been ground up into a flour and stripped of their fiber and nutrients altogether. This increases the likelihood that your body will rapidly break them down into glucose, leading to a sharp spike in blood sugar and insulin. The worst offenders are foods made with added sugars and refined grain flours. But even products labeled “whole grain” (like breads or pastas) are more likely to spike blood sugar compared with intact whole grains. This is why it’s always useful to look at the actual ingredients list and not just the marketing claims on the front of the package.
