Sardines on crackers is a simple, nutritious snack combining omega-3-rich sardines with crunchy, fiber-packed crackers. Originating from Mediterranean cuisine, this pairing highlights fresh, accessible ingredients commonly found in coastal regions. Sardines are a powerhouse of protein, healthy fats, Vitamin D, and essential minerals like calcium and phosphorus, promoting heart health, bone strength, and brain function. Crackers, often whole-grain or seed-based, contribute fiber and energy-boosting carbohydrates. While this is a nutrient-dense choice, moderation is key since canned sardines may contain added sodium, and some crackers can be high in refined carbs or unhealthy fats. Opting for low-sodium sardines and whole-grain crackers enhances the snack's overall health benefits. Fast and easy to prepare, sardines on crackers is a versatile snack that can be further elevated with flavorful additions like lemon juice, herbs, or a sprinkle of chili flakes.
