About Mini crackers

Mini crackers are a bite-sized variation of standard crackers, typically made from refined or whole grain flours, water, and sometimes oils, salt, and leavening agents. Originating as a convenient snack in various cuisines, crackers are versatile and widely consumed globally. Nutritionally, mini crackers are generally high in carbohydrates and low in protein and fat. Depending on the recipe, they may also contain dietary fiber, sodium, and small amounts of vitamins like B-complex (e.g., niacin) and minerals like iron if enriched. However, their nutrient density varies significantly among brands and ingredient choices, especially if made with whole grains or seeds.

Health Benefits

• Serve as a quick source of energy due to their carbohydrate content (mainly starch).
• Whole-grain versions can contribute to daily fiber intake, supporting digestive health.
• Iron-fortified mini crackers may help in meeting daily iron needs, crucial for oxygen transport in the body.

Dietary Considerations

Allergens: Contains wheat, gluten, soy (in some brands), milk (in some brands)

Suitable for: Vegetarian diets (most brands), lacto-vegetarian diets (if dairy-free)

Not suitable for: Gluten-free diets, low-sodium diets (depending on salt content), paleo diets

Selection and Storage

Store mini crackers in an airtight container in a cool, dry place to maintain crispness and freshness. Avoid exposure to humidity.

Can I eat mini crackers on a keto diet?

Mini crackers are generally not suitable for a keto diet as they are primarily made from refined grains like wheat and contain around 20-25 grams of carbohydrates per 30-gram serving. For keto, look for low-carb crackers made with almond or coconut flour.

Are mini crackers vegan-friendly?

How do mini crackers compare to whole-grain crackers?
