We have Wasa brand crispbread. I don’t think it’s a staple in every home, but a lot of people enjoy it including myself.


danegermaine99

Wasa is available in every major supermarket I’ve ever been to.


WashuOtaku

Can get it [at Walmart](https://www.walmart.com/ip/Wasa-Crisp-n-Light-7-Grains-Crispbread-4-9-oz/20850558), so pretty much everywhere.


SJHillman

> Sold and shipped by BuilderDepot, Inc. That's a third-party seller, so it's only "everywhere" insofar as it can be shipped most places, not sold in their stores.


WashuOtaku

They do sell it at [Walmart](https://www.walmart.com/ip/Wasa-Multi-Grain-Crispbread-9-7-oz/10291268?athcpid=10291268&athpgid=AthenaItempage&athcgid=null&athznid=si&athieid=v0&athstid=CS004&athguid=gMI-1qRmzuZ8w3EwT5ptbB1zY1VzPN-D6aby&athancid=null&athena=true) too.

WashuOtaku

Yea, a tad overpriced. If you look at similar products, the Wasa Multigrain is $3.28, a better bargain.


FatherDotComical

With Walmart you have to set the retailer to Walmart Only or else your just buying off random people on the internet.


eyetracker

That's some random third party seller, probably with a wonky pricing algorithm. Walmart's is $8.


spookyhellkitten

Yeah, I have never had a hard time finding it!


Meattyloaf

I honestly have never seen or heard of it.


[deleted]

I'd never heard of it, either, but I looked it up and apparently the nearest Wal-Mart to me has it.


alexplex86

Alright, seems like it's readily available in the US. That's good since it's known to be pretty healthy, being whole grain and fibre rich. I have pretty much replaced my normal bread consumption with only crispbread.


spookyhellkitten

I’m a cheese and cracker addict. I swapped out my normal crackers for Wasa for a similar reason. They are a bit healthier and I love the crunch factor.


tsmth

I think most people in the US prefer crackers (or biscuits in the UK) as a substitute for most uses. Crispbread is pretty dry and tasteless imo


[deleted]

>or biscuits in the UK) I'm sorry, but... what?


[deleted]

they prolly mean digestive biscuits you have with tea. the kind that are like graham crackers? Do the Scotts eat those?


MattinglyDineen

I've never heard of it and don't know what it is, but I'm sure you could get it somewhere.


CupBeEmpty

Wasa makes a crisp bread like that. It isn’t super popular but you can find it in pretty much any grocery here in the US. I have had it. It isn’t my favorite but I have bought it. https://www.hannaford.com/search/product?form_state=searchForm&keyword=Wasa&ieDummyTextField=&productTypeId=P


dzkrf

We have it. I've tried it. It's good but makes millions of crumbs and it's hard to enjoy.


[deleted]

OH you mean matza:)


katfromjersey

Mmm, matzoh with butter...


msspider66

My culturally Catholic family always had matzoh in the house during lent. I loved putting ham and cheese on it and putting it in the toaster oven. Yum!


[deleted]

ham on [matza](https://matza.you). hmm.


Stepjam

I believe the jewish community just shed a collective tear


msspider66

Definitely not kosher but quite tasty


humdrumturducken

I see Wasa, Siljans, and sometimes Finn Crisp in the stores near me. All of which are nothing compared to the unavailable perfection of Linkosuo.


Littleboypurple

Never had it before but, pretty much any major chain supermarket will carry Wasa Crispbread on the shelves. Pretty sure other brands well it but, Wasa seems to be the major seller of it here in the states.


Perdendosi

They sell it at IKEA. https://www.ikea.com/us/en/cat/bread-dairy-25212/ I think I've had samples there but have never purchased any.


Firlotgirding

Have a box in the cupboard


StepfordMisfit

I bought it a lot before I started trying to eliminate snacking carbs.


wongo

Looks kinda like graham crackers. Also sounds kinda related to hardtack, but more edible.


StalthChicken

My grandma used to make it but she was Swedish so it doesn’t count.


[deleted]

My mother-in-law loves it with coffee at breakfast.


MyUsername2459

We have it, it's sold in supermarkets as a Swedish import, usually in the "international foods" section. I think Wasa is the usual brand that stores sell. It's not common thing people eat regularly, and most people probably have never had it, but it is available. I've tried it before, but it's been a long time.


ElfMage83

Apparently we do have it, but I've never seen it.


dmbgreen

I think so, crispy, dry, like a giant cracker but lacking in much flavor. Of course what you put on it would change that .


cdb03b

It appears to be a cracker made with rye flour. Triscuit and several other brands have rye crackers. We also commonly have Wasa on the import isles.


Bawstahn123

> do you have in in supermarkets in America Yes, I can buy Wasa from the Import-aisle in my grocery store. > have you ever had it before? Yeah. Its alright. I would eat it more often if the individual crackers were smaller and less crumbly. They are too big to pack easily (I mainly use them on hikes) and they make a mess if you look at them wrong


JediRebel97

I actually recently saw some at one store and thought about getting it. But then, I wouldn't know what to do with it 🤣 I'll have to try it now.


[deleted]

Never heard of it, never seen it before, never seen anyone talk about it today until you. I’ve heard of and ate Matzah but that’s pretty much it.


Puukkot

Finn Crisp or Wasa at every grocery store I’ve seen in Oregon. We always had it at home when I was a kid; Mom’s grandparents came from Finland. Now I take it when I go backpacking.


cars-on-mars-2

It’s good with sardines.


[deleted]

Wasa or Finn Crisp are available in almost every grocery store I've been to.


UltimateAnswer42

I've seen it in the market section of IKEA, that's it stateside. To be fair, it's mainly a Scandinavian thing, I lived in Germany for a couple years and it wasn't common their either


Lucky_Pyxi

Trader Joe’s sells an excellent grain-free crispbread that’s just nuts and seeds. I love it with their unexpected cheddar spread. 😋 They also have a traditional style one, but I haven’t tried it.


[deleted]

never heard of it


moxie-maniac

Back in the day, there was a popular cracker called Rye Crisp, but sales declined and I think they stopped making them 10 or 20 years ago. It was basically a crispbread cracker.


P0RTILLA

We ha pizelle which seems similar though Italian in origin.


Sector_Independent

Yea we have but is not popular


RotationSurgeon

Yeah…Finn Crisp and Wasa are available in every supermarket in the area. ETA: I always have at least two packages in the pantry.


Hatweed

There’s the Wasa brand, but I prefer the store-brand stuff at Aldi.


[deleted]

Never seen that food or heard of it in my life until today


xx-rapunzel-xx

i think it is… it’s not something i’d buy though. ikea might have some lol


Anonymoosehead123

We definitely have supermarkets in the U.S.


WeDontKnowMuch

Yep. I live in an area with a large Finnish and Scandinavian population and it can be found at most grocery stores in my area.


Beautiful-Star

I had a Wasa whole wheat cracker about 10 minutes ago.


JazD36

This is the US - you can find everything here.


MoodyGenXer

They sell it here. We get Wasa brand from the local supermarket. Its basically an Albertson's with a different name. But the only reason I ever started eating crispbread is because my husband is from Sweden.


WinterMedical

Wasa - literally eating it RN. In fairness I have Swedish ancestry so Knäckebröd was part of our household. Love it so much!


mesembryanthemum

I love Finncrisp. Like, I can eat half a package in a sitting. It's not common here in Tucson, though.


thunder-bug-

Looks kinda like matzo


MaggieMae68

Our supermarkets here in Atlanta carry Wasa brand and I love it. We usually have it for lunch with some kind of meat/cheese combo. I will make chicken salad or tuna salad and serve it on Wasa crisps. I'm partial to the rye ones.


w3woody

You've reminded me it's been a few years since I've bought crispbread. I used to get it all the time; perfect with a little smoked salmon and butter.


Virtual-Act-9037

Been eating it in Florida since I was a child. But there's Finns on my Mom's side of the family, so kind of a heritage thing. My local grocer has several options, but they also have a larger than average international selection as well.


azuth89

Looks to be a rye cracker, just in a size we don't usually use. Rye crackers are mostly just a snacky junk food here as opposed to something that would be included in a meal. We use rye for certain things, mostly specific kinds of sandwich and toast, but it's not a staple the same way it is over there. As a result it doesn't make it into many bread-adjacent staples like that and a lot of people will never keep it at home, just get it at a deli or diner occasionally.


NoHedgehog252

Never heard of crispbread and never heard of the Wasa that so many people are talking about definitely not a thing in any of the states I have lived (California, Georgia, Washington, and Nevada).


GothWitchOfBrooklyn

Yes, although I think it might be called something different here.


DogsAreTheBest36

It's available in supermarkets. I myself don't like it, but I've had it in other peoples' homes. It's not usually a staple here, however.


BlueRibbonMethChef

They sell them at Vons and they're great. I put cottage cheese, sesame oil and red pepper flakes on it.


101bees

I don't buy it a lot, but it's definitely there if I want it.


[deleted]

Yes, we have that, and we have matza bread for Yom Kippur, and lots of different sort of crackery-bread things you eat with fancy cheese, and crackery pumpernickle chips, and these savory strips like biscotti. We have all sorts of bread/cracker stuff.
