Crackers

Cracker is a broad category of thin, dry baked snacks found in many cuisines — from saltines and oyster crackers to sesame rice crackers — commonly eaten with spreads, soups, or as a crunchy snack. They are typically made from refined flours, oil and salt and are known for their crisp texture and convenience. As a snack, Cracker are energy-dense at 510kcal per 100 g and tend to be higher in refined carbohydrates and fat while offering only modest amounts of protein and fiber compared with whole-grain alternatives. Some varieties (for example sesame or whole-grain versions) add small amounts of minerals like manganese or selenium. Many commercial crackers are highly processed and provide limited micronutrient density compared with less-refined whole-grain snacks; choosing whole-grain or baked varieties can improve fiber and nutrient content while lowering refined carbs and added fats.
