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.
