Predictions for the Future of Food focus on products that are climate resilient and meet growing population demands without depleting natural resources. Some possibilities include insects high in protein that require less water than meat-based foods, ancient millets grown on low-water mountainsides, and powdered food synthesizers for 3D printers that replicate dishes made by top restaurants. Hemp requires no irrigation and less fertilizer than other crops. And touted as "wonder foods," seaweed and other algae are both both plentiful and highly nutritious.
Food & Wine’s Best New Chef Matthew Kammerer of Harbor House in Elk, California developed this cracker for a snack, to put on a soft cheese board, to sprinkle over a sweet potato - or perhaps your Impossible Burger? I found the seaweed to be a bit overpowering, and the crackers easily crumbled into granola, but keep this recipe in mind. Thinking ahead, don’t hesitate to substitute an ancient mountainside millet for the rice, or even chopped insects for the seeds!
My Paleo Marin Rating: 2 Persimmons
Ingredients:
1 cup wild rice, cooked according to package directions, cooled and patted dry (Whole Foods 365 Wild Rice was delicious; it took about 45 minutes to cook)
Simple Syrup: 1/2 cup water and 1/4 cup coconut sugar
Avocado or grapeseed oil to fill a medium pot about 1 1/2"
1 1/2 teaspoons fine sea salt plus a pinch, divided
1 cup flax seeds
3/4 cup toasted sesame seeds
1/3 cup hemp seeds
1/4 oz. seaweed (2 sheets nori), finely chopped

1 1/2 teaspoons fine sea salt plus a pinch, divided
1 cup flax seeds
3/4 cup toasted sesame seeds
1/3 cup hemp seeds
1/4 oz. seaweed (2 sheets nori), finely chopped
Directions:
Preheat the oven to 275 degrees F. Line one baking sheet with a silicone mat. Line another baking sheet with paper towels.
1. To make the simple syrup: In a medium saucepan, boil the water and add the sugar. Stir to combine. Let cool.
2. Heat the oil in a medium saucepan to hot and carefully add the cooled rice in batches. Caution: Oil will splatter. Cook until slightly puffed, about 10 seconds. Transfer with a mesh spider to the baking sheet with paper towels. Repeat until all of the rice is puffed. Dry off oil on paper towels.
3. Transfer the cooled rice to a large bowl. Add a pinch of salt and stir. Add the flax seeds, sesame seeds, simple syrup, hemp seeds and remaining 1 1/2 teaspoons salt. Stir until well combined.
4. Transfer the mixture to the baking sheet with the silicone mat and spread it out to thinly cover the the sheet. Bake in a preheated oven until crisp, about 1 to 1 1/2 hours. Let stand until cool enough to handle and break into pieces.
Store in an airtight container or ziplock plastic bag up to 1 week.

My Paleo Marin Rating 1-5 Persimmons
I try out these recipes so you don't have to (and modify them for Paleo where possible). The rating will reflect my opinion of the final result in terms of taste, ease of preparation, nutrition, and sometimes, cost.
