About Buttercrisp crackers

Buttercrisp crackers are thin, crispy, and mildly buttery-flavored snacks, typically originating from Western cuisine, particularly popular in the United States and Europe. They are made from wheat flour, butter or oil, sugar, and salt, often with leavening agents added for texture. These crackers are a convenient snack option, commonly served with cheese, dips, or spreads. Nutritionally, buttercrisp crackers are a source of carbohydrates and fats, offering approximately 60-80 calories per serving (approximately 4-5 crackers), depending on the recipe and brand. They are low in protein and dietary fiber but may be fortified with iron or B vitamins if the flour is enriched.

Health Benefits

• Provide a quick source of energy due to their carbohydrate content, making them helpful for on-the-go snacks.
• May supply small amounts of iron if made with enriched flour, supporting oxygen transport in the body.
• Contain trace amounts of vitamin B1 (thiamine) if produced using enriched wheat flour, contributing to energy metabolism.

Dietary Considerations

Allergens: Contains wheat, gluten, dairy (if butter is used)

Suitable for: Vegetarian diets if free of animal-derived additives

Not suitable for: Gluten-free diets, vegan diets (if butter or dairy-based ingredients are present), low-carb diets

Selection and Storage
