About Cheese cracker
Cheese crackers are a popular savory snack, typically made from a combination of cheese, flour, butter or oil, and seasonings. Originating from Western cuisines, they are often enjoyed as a part of snack platters, appetizers, or standalone munchies. Nutritionally, cheese crackers are calorie-dense and rich in fats, carbohydrates, and moderate levels of protein due to the inclusion of cheese. They can also provide sodium and small amounts of calcium, depending on the quantity and type of cheese used, though they are also relatively high in saturated fats and salt content.
Health Benefits
- Rich in calcium from cheese, important for bone health (99 mg of calcium per 28g of cheddar cheese).
- Provides protein due to cheese inclusion, aiding in muscle repair and growth (7g protein per 28g of cheddar cheese).
- Contains small amounts of B vitamins like riboflavin (0.1 mg per 28g cheddar cheese), which supports energy production in the body.
Dietary Considerations
Selection and Storage
Store in an airtight container at room temperature or refrigerate for prolonged freshness. Avoid exposure to moisture which can affect the texture and crispness.
Common Questions About Cheese cracker Nutrition
Is cheese cracker a good source of protein?
Cheese crackers typically contain about 2-4 grams of protein per serving (around 28 grams or 6-8 crackers). While they do provide some protein, they aren't considered a high-protein snack compared to foods like nuts or yogurt.
Can I eat cheese crackers on a keto diet?
Cheese crackers are usually not keto-friendly as they contain around 10-20 grams of carbohydrates per serving due to the inclusion of wheat flour or similar ingredients. However, certain keto-specific cheese crackers made without grains are available and suitable for a ketogenic diet.
Are cheese crackers healthy?
Cheese crackers can be enjoyed in moderation but should be consumed cautiously as they often contain added sodium (200-300 mg per serving) and saturated fats. They provide a convenient source of calories but are generally low in fiber and essential vitamins, making them a less nutrient-dense snack choice.
What is the recommended serving size for cheese crackers?
A standard serving size for cheese crackers is about 1 ounce (28 grams), which is roughly 6-8 crackers depending on the brand. Stick to a single serving to avoid overconsumption of sodium and calories, which are often high in this type of snack.
How do cheese crackers compare to regular crackers?
Cheese crackers usually have slightly more fat (5-8 grams per serving) and a more savory taste compared to regular crackers, which may be lower in fat but often higher in carbohydrates. Cheese crackers typically have added cheese flavors, while regular crackers are more versatile for pairing with other toppings.
