Why Dr. John's developed his VitaCrisp Crackers
"When I began a few years ago to embrace a healthy "living enzyme" lifestyle, which centered around consuming as many raw, enzyme-rich foods as possible, I realized that I needed to find a substitute for the bread to which I was addicted."
"The VitaCrisp Crackers are the result of a great deal of experimenting with various ingredients and preparation techniques. My goal was to create a crisp and delicious cracker that would make me totally forget about my former love affair with bread."
"The VitaCrisp Crackers which evolved retain all of the amazing flavor and vital life-force of the organic seeds, nuts, vegetables and fruits which comprise them. The seeds are sprouted for maximum enzyme action. The ingredients are combined and then dehydrated at temperatures below 118 degrees Fahrenheit. This produces a wonderfully crisp, flavorful and delicate cracker which is so nutritious that one could literally live on VitaCrisp Crackers alone... with nothing else added."
"Once I had developed my first dill-flavored crackers, I began sharing them with friends and bringing them to "raw-lucks" in the area. The reaction to the crackers went beyond anything I could have anticipated. Not only were my crackers raved about and devoured instantly, but folks began begging me to make crackers for them."
"So I literally had no choice but to 'go commercial' and start producing 'Dr. John's VitaCrisp Crackers' in a rented commercial kitchen in order to keep up with the growing demand."
"Even though I am making these crackers in increasingly larger batches, they are still made with the same care and love -- and the same high quality organic ingredients as were the first crackers I shared with my friends."
The only difference is that I have experimented with other flavors -- we are now making four flavors -- and I've brought in some help to enable me to keep up with the constantly-increasing orders."
"I invite you to try ALL of our flavors... and to share these wonderful and healthful crackers with your friends."
