About Cream cracker

Cream crackers are a type of dry, savory biscuit traditionally enjoyed in British and Irish cuisine, though popular worldwide. They were first developed in the 1880s and are made from wheat flour, yeast, and a small amount of fat, giving them a light and crisp texture. Nutritionally, cream crackers are a low-moisture, carbohydrate-dense snack. A standard cracker provides around 35-40 calories, primarily from carbohydrates, with minimal protein and fat content and trace amounts of dietary fiber, vitamins, and minerals. They are not a significant source of micronutrients but can serve as a convenient base for nutrient-rich toppings like cheese, hummus, or sliced vegetables.
