Name: Emily Williams, Jake Schneider & Gemma Dunne

Position: Taste and Development Team

So, being in our Taste and Development team, I am sure you've been asked the RYVITA® question 'Bumpy vs Smooth - which side up do you eat your Ryvita® crispbread?'  - What's your preference and why?

Emily: I eat mine bumpy side up so that the toppings ooze into the dimples, that way I get more topping! My favourite recipe is Fruit Crunch Crispbread smothered in natural yoghurt with a drizzle of honey.

Jake: I eat mine bumpy side up - Because if you’re spreading a topping on the bumpy side you’re filling the holes making it more structurally sound! If you’re as clumsy as me and you spread on the smooth side, the holes are more likely to cause fractures and you end up covered in crispbread crumbs. My favourite recipe is New York style Dark Rye crispbread, topped with Dijon mustard, pastrami ham and sliced gherkins.

Gemma: I prefer to put topping on the smooth side as you then get a nice even coverage of the crispbread. On the toppings front, I like Marmite and cheddar cheese on Original Crispbread , along with cream cheese and tomatoes on Sweet Onion Crispbread and mozzarella and peppers on Cracked Black Pepper Crispbread .

    I make a bumpy sides in cheese sandwich and use different things like strips of ham or thin strips of red, yellow and orange peppers. I lightly wrap the sandwich in greaseproof paper that has been scored to let out steam then microwave. I then have a kind of tasted sandwich which I eat warm or eat cold later without the insides falling out. When heating in the timing has to be just right so that Ryvitas, and peppers don’t get soggy but the cheese still melts. It takes lots of jummy practise!

    It's bumpy side up for me so I have an excuse to put on more topping to fill up the holes!

    Bumpy side down so that you can get a nice even spread of topping and the lovely bumpy sensation as you bite in!
