Milk Thistle & Chia Seeds raw crackers

The summer is almost ending – I can feel it in the air. The grass is getting yellow, it’s getting colder and the milk thistle seeds are flying around. But before they fly away completely, I wanted to collect them and make some of my favorite raw veggie-seeds crackers. It’s not very easy to collect the seeds because they are tiny little things. You need some gloves and lot of patience. But the power of the milk thistle is worth it and I enjoy the collecting like a meditation! If you don’t have the time to collect the milk thistle you can buy it in your health-food store or replace them with different kind of seed (sesame, hemp seeds, flax seeds..).

Here is the yummy recipe:

1/4 cup milk thistle seeds
3/4 cup chia seeds
1/2 sunflower seeds
1/2 cup ground flax seeds (soak in 1 cup of water)
1 tomato
1 large carrot thinly sliced
1/2 onion
3 cloves garlic
1/2 bunch kale
1 1/2 teaspoons cumin
1 tablespoon olive oil
salt, pepper

Lightly blend onion, tomato and garlic in a food processor. Add kale and sunflower seeds and blend lightly. Mix all ingredients in a bowl. Spread onto baking sheet with baking paper. The thickness should be thin but not enough to see visible holes in the batter. Use the owen on the lowes temperature (140F) for 4 – 6 hours.
