Crackers.jpg

Crumble crackers in soups, on salads, or eat them straight out of the box!

These small and crunchy versions of bread are made from flour, water, leavening, and sometimes oil, are formed into various shapes, and baked. Whole-grain, low-fat, and low-sodium varieties of the classic saltine are crunchier, more interesting vehicles for serving meats, cheeses, and low-fat sandwich spreads than bread or rolls. Crackers can be a healthful addition to most diets.

Varieties

Crackers are made from a variety of flours, including white and whole-grain wheat, rye, rice, and others. They’re available in low-fat, fat-free, and low-sodium assortments, and may also contain other flavorings, such as cheese, spices, and vegetables. Crackers come in a wide range of shapes and sizes. Wheat-free crackers suitable for people with wheat allergies are also available.

Buying and storing tips

Look for whole-grain, low-sodium, and low-fat varieties. Store them, unopened, in a cool, dark cupboard for up to six months. Store opened crackers in a sealed plastic bag for up to one week.

Availability

Crackers are available year-round in most food stores.

Preparation, uses, and tips

Serve whole-grain crackers with soups and salads, or top with tuna salad, low-fat cheeses, and lean meats for fast, healthful snacks.
