We run same-day UK dispatch on every order placed before 2pm Monday to Friday. Common questions are answered in the detailed Q and A tab below. ## Description The name says it plainly: Snack It, and Snacks rather than Crackers. This is not a cracker that happens to be seasoned. It is a crisp alternative with a flatbread base, and it should be judged against a bag of crisps rather than against a cream cracker. Smoky BBQ is the busiest seasoning on our whole cracker shelf. A barbecue profile is built from several things at once, sweetness, salt, a little acidity and a smoke note, and the smoke does something the others do not: it is perceived largely through the nose while you chew rather than on the tongue, which is why it seems to fill out a flavour and make it taste richer than its parts. The Taste Profile Smoke: ●●●●○ (4/5) The signature, and the thing that makes the seasoning feel full. It works through the nose while you chew rather than landing on the tongue. Sweet and Salt: ●●●●○ (4/5) A barbecue profile is sweet and salty together, and both are turned up here. It is the loudest savoury seasoning on our cracker shelf. Shard Snap: ●●●●● (5/5) Thin, flat and hard. The same fast high snap as the other Thins, with the seasoning arriving in the same instant. Versatility: ●○○○○ (1/5) None to speak of, by design. This is a bag snack. Nothing goes on it, nothing sits beside it on a board, and it will bury anything delicate. Teas.co.uk Curator Rating: 4.5 / 5 - Our expert verdict from the curators at Teas.co.uk The Story Behind Ryvita Ryvita built its name on crispbread, and Snack It is the corner of the range where that heritage is deliberately set aside. On our own shelf we list the thick crispbreads at 200g and 250g, the very light crackerbreads, the Thins in several seasonings and the Snack It bags in smoky BBQ, sour cream and chive, sea salt and cider vinegar and prawn cocktail. Those last four are crisp flavours rather than cracker flavours, and the naming follows: Snacks, not Crackers. Our reading is that Snack It is aimed squarely at the crisp aisle. That is our own editorial assessment against the current pack format and the brand's published description. The name tells us Snack It, Thins, smoky BBQ, flatbread, snacks and 125g. It does not tell us the base grain, what the seasoning is built from, how the smoke note is produced, how much sugar or salt is in it, how many pieces are in the pack, or anything on the nutrition panel. Buying a Ryvita product and assuming it carries the crispbread range's associations would be a mistake here, and we are not encouraging it: we make no health, weight, calorie or diet claim about this product at all. Packaging: Follow the current UK pack and local-authority guidance; components can require different disposal routes. What You Are Actually Buying Judge it against crisps, not crackers: the name says Snacks and the seasoning agrees. Comparing it with a crispbread will only disappoint you in both directions. The loudest thing on our cracker shelf: sweet, salt and smoke all at once. There is nothing subtle to find and nothing is hiding. What it is not: not a crispbread, not a board cracker, not a base for anything, not a free-from line and not a health product. How Does Ryvita Snack It Thins Smoky BBQ Flatbread Snacks, 125g Compare to: Ryvita Thins Snack It Sea Salt & Cider Vinegar Flavour Flatbread Snacks, 125g: the sharp option in the same range and the same money. Vinegar cuts and resets the palate where smoke accumulates on it, which makes that bag the better one for a long evening and this one better in smaller doses. Ideal Serving Conditions A bag snack needs almost no serving advice, and what little there is comes from the fact that this is a seasoning-led product on a very thin brittle base. The Bowl and the Bag Decant and lay them flat: a wide shallow bowl in a single layer, because a Thin breaks under the pieces stacked on top of it. Nothing goes on top: this seasoning is complete on its own and will overwhelm any dip or topping you put with it. Serve it as it is. Give the table something plain: smoke accumulates on the palate across a handful, so a plain cracker, some crudites or a glass of something cold keeps the bowl working. The Storage Rules Airtight on day one: a very thin bake takes moisture out of kitchen air faster than a thick one, and a sugared seasoning draws it in faster still. A rigid tub with a lid: a folded and clipped bag slows the air rather than stopping it, and does nothing about the breakage. Reviving a soft pack: a few minutes in a low oven in a single layer, watched constantly, because a sweet seasoning browns and then burns far faster than plain starch and a scorched BBQ coating is bitter. Getting It Right with a Hot Drink Pairing: something cold. This is a crisp-aisle product and it behaves like one, so a cold drink suits it better than a hot cup does. If it has to be tea: a strong plain black tea. Smoke and salt need cutting rather than matching, and a delicate cup will vanish entirely. Dunking: no, twice over. A flatbread this thin collapses in liquid, and a smoky BBQ coating in tea is genuinely unpleasant. Best with: nothing. This is the one product in this group we would serve entirely on its own. Safety And Purity Ingredients and dietary suitability: Per the published ingredient list for this product it contains wheat and rye (gluten). Check the current UK pack before purchase; formulations and allergen advice can change. How the smoke note is made is not known to us: the pack says smoky BBQ and we repeat that the pack says it. Do not read the Ryvita name as a health cue: this is the brand's crisp-aisle product, not its crispbread. We make no health, weight, calorie or diet claim about it of any kind. Read the label. ## Product Questions Is this a cracker or a crisp?Neither exactly, and the name is honest about it. Snack It, and Snacks rather than Crackers: a crisp alternative on a flatbread base. Judge it against a bag of crisps, not against a crispbread. What does smoky BBQ actually taste of?Sweet, salt and smoke together. The smoke is the interesting part, because it is perceived largely through the nose while you chew rather than on the tongue, which is why the seasoning feels so full. How much sugar and salt is in it?The panel on the current UK pack is the only source. Can I put anything on them?No, and there is nothing to gain by trying. The seasoning is complete on its own and will overwhelm any dip or topping. Serve them exactly as they come. Why does an open pack go soft so quickly?Two reasons stacking up. A very thin bake has a great deal of surface for its weight, and a sugared seasoning draws moisture out of the air on top of that. Clip or tub?A tub. A folded clip slows the air rather than stopping it and does nothing about breakage. A rigid tub with a lid solves both at once. How many are in the pack?The pack is 125g and states its own count on the label. Can I dunk them?No, twice over. A flatbread this thin collapses in liquid rather than softening, and a smoky BBQ coating in tea is genuinely unpleasant. Which drink goes with it?Something cold. This is a crisp-aisle product and it behaves like one. If it has to be tea, make it strong and plain, because smoke and salt need cutting and a delicate cup will vanish. ## Ingredients & Nutrition Ingredients and allergens.

The pack says smoky BBQ and we make no statement about how that smoke note is produced, because the ingredient list is the only place that answers it. The account of smoke being perceived largely through the nose while chewing, and of sugar drawing moisture out of the air, is general food science rather than a claim about this pack's recipe. The sensory placements are our own editorial assessment against the current pack format and the brand's published description; we have held no tastings and hold no brand specification sheets.Sourcing & blend. Ryvita Snack It Thins Smoky BBQ Flatbread Snacks, 125g is made by Ryvita, a brand built on crispbread, in the corner of its range where that heritage is deliberately set aside. On our own shelf we list the thick crispbreads at 200g and 250g, the very light crackerbreads, the Thins in several seasonings and the Snack It bags in smoky BBQ, sour cream and chive, sea salt and cider vinegar and prawn cocktail. Those last four are crisp flavours rather than cracker flavours, and the naming follows them: Snacks rather than Crackers. Our reading is that Snack It is aimed squarely at the crisp aisle. That is our own editorial assessment and not a specification from the brand.What's in Ryvita Snack It Thins Smoky BBQ Flatbread Snacks, 125g, and what isn't: In: thin seasoned flatbread snacks, loose in a 125g pack. No smoke process claimed: the pack says smoky BBQ and we repeat that the pack says it. Whether the smoke note comes from a flavouring, a spice or anything else is on the ingredient list. ## Flavour Science The flavour of Ryvita Snack It Thins Smoky BBQ Flatbread Snacks, 125g is built in three layers, and reading them in order explains exactly why the snack tastes the way it does from the first piece to the last.The outer layer is smoke, and it is doing more work than any other single element in this group of products. Smoke compounds are strongly aromatic and they reach you before anything else, so opening the pack gives you a warm, slightly sweet, faintly charred smell that reads as barbecue immediately. That aroma is not a preview of the taste so much as part of it: a great deal of what people describe as smoky flavour is arriving through the nose rather than the tongue, which is why a blocked nose flattens a barbecue seasoning more than it flattens a salty one.The flavour spike is sweet and salt landing together, and they land hard. A barbecue profile is built on both at once with a little acidity behind them, and on a cracker this thin there is no base flavour to dilute any of it. That makes this the loudest thing on our cracker shelf by a clear margin, and it also makes it the most tiring: a seasoning with this many components working at full volume occupies the palate completely, and after a dozen pieces there is nowhere left for it to go. Something plain or cold on the table genuinely extends a bowl of these.The base structure is the flatbread, and it is almost purely structural. There is a faint dry cereal note behind the seasoning and nothing else to find, finishing short because there is no fat to carry anything on. What the base does provide is the snap: rolled and baked flat and hard, it breaks fast and high and puts the whole seasoning on the tongue at once, which is precisely why this reads as more immediate and more intense than the same seasoning would be on a thicker piece. The thinness is also the fragility, so these break under a sideways grip and under the pieces stacked on them.Getting it right in the cup. This is a crisp-aisle product and it behaves like one, so the honest advice is that a cold drink suits it better than a hot cup does. If it is going to be tea, make it strong and plain: smoke and salt need cutting rather than matching, and a delicate green, white or floral cup will disappear entirely underneath a barbecue seasoning without either side gaining anything. Milk is not required but does no harm against the salt. Dunking is out on two counts, because a flatbread this thin collapses in liquid rather than softening, and a smoky BBQ coating in a cup of tea is genuinely unpleasant rather than merely odd.How water and temperature change it. Crackers stale backwards compared with bread. Bread goes hard because it loses water; a cracker goes soft because it gains it, and the rate depends on how much surface there is for the weight. A flatbread rolled this thin is near the extreme on our shelf, and this product has a second problem stacked on top of the first: sugar is hygroscopic, meaning it actively pulls moisture out of the air towards itself, so a sweet barbecue coating softens a piece faster than a plain surface would in the same cupboard and can turn slightly tacky before it goes properly soft. The seasoning has a third clock as well. Smoke compounds are volatile, which is exactly why they reach the nose so readily, and volatile compounds leave an open pack over time, so a badly stored bag loses its signature before it loses its crunch. All three are solved by the same move on the day you open it: a rigid tub with a lid, kept cool, dark and well away from the cupboard above the hob. ## Recipe Ideas Ryvita Snack It Thins Smoky BBQ Flatbread Snacks, 125g is a bag snack and nothing else, so the builds below are about serving it well and using what is left rather than putting anything on top. Five cover the bowl, a lunchbox, a barbecue crumb, a salad crunch and a topping for a baked potato. Recipes, born here first The Bowl, Served Plain How to make The Bowl, Served Plain with Ryvita Snack It Smoky BBQ. 3 min 4 people Easy You'll need Half a pack of Ryvita Snack It Smoky BBQ A wide shallow bowl Crudites on a second plate Something cold to drink Method Lay the pieces in a single layer in a wide bowl rather than stacking them, because a Thin breaks under its own pile. Put nothing on them and nothing delicate beside them. This seasoning is complete and will bury anything subtle. Set crudites or a plain cracker on the table so there is somewhere for the palate to go between handfuls. Close the rest of the pack immediately, because a sugared surface pulls moisture out of the air. What you'll end up with: The way this product is meant to be eaten, with the one addition that matters: something plain on the table so the bowl does not defeat everyone by the twelfth piece. The Lunchbox Portion How to make The Lunchbox Portion with Ryvita Snack It Smoky BBQ. 2 min 1 lunchbox Easy You'll need A handful of Ryvita Snack It Smoky BBQ A small rigid tub with a lid A sandwich to go beside it A piece of fruit Method Portion into a small rigid tub rather than tipping a handful loose into the box, because these break easily. Pack the tub above the sandwich so nothing heavy sits on the pieces. Keep the sandwich plain, since a strong barbecue seasoning beside a strongly flavoured sandwich is too much of the same thing. Check the pack's allergen advice before putting these in anyone else's lunchbox. What you'll end up with: Whole pieces at midday rather than a tub of dust, which is what a rigid container buys you with anything this thin. Barbecue Crumb for Chicken How to make Barbecue Crumb for Chicken with Ryvita Snack It Smoky BBQ. 25 min 4 pieces Easy You'll need Half a pack of Ryvita Snack It Smoky BBQ 25g melted butter 4 chicken breasts or thighs No extra seasoning at all Method Crush the pieces in the bag with a rolling pin into coarse crumbs rather than dust. Stir through the melted butter and press firmly onto the chicken. Bake with foil over for most of the time, taking it off for the last ten minutes only. Watch the crust closely once uncovered, because a sweet barbecue coating browns and then burns much faster than a plain breadcrumb. What you'll end up with: A barbecue crust with no rub to mix, and the strongest argument for keeping a bag of these in the cupboard even if you do not snack on them. Smoky Crunch on a Salad How to make Smoky Crunch on a Salad with Ryvita Snack It Smoky BBQ. 5 min 2 bowls Easy You'll need 6 Ryvita Snack It Smoky BBQ pieces Crisp leaves and sweetcorn Avocado or cucumber A plain oil and lemon dressing Method Dress the salad and get it into the bowls before anything crunchy goes near it. Break the pieces roughly by hand into large shards rather than crushing them. Scatter over at the table and keep the dressing completely plain, because the shards bring all the seasoning needed. Eat immediately, since dressed leaves soften a Thin within a minute or two. What you'll end up with: A salad that tastes far more seasoned than its dressing, which is what a loud snack does when you use it as a garnish rather than a food. Baked Potato Topping How to make Baked Potato Topping with Ryvita Snack It Smoky BBQ. 8 min 2 potatoes Easy You'll need A handful of Ryvita Snack It Smoky BBQ 2 hot baked potatoes Soured cream Spring onions Method Split the potatoes and spoon soured cream into each one while they are still hot. Crush a handful of the pieces lightly in your hand so they are broken but not powdered. Scatter them over the cream with the sliced spring onion, at the table rather than in the kitchen. Season nothing else: the snack has brought the salt, the sugar and the smoke. What you'll end up with: A loaded potato in the time it takes to split one, and the only build here where the seasoning genuinely earns a place on a plate rather than in a bowl. --- _Content available under teas.co.uk citation contract.
