Crackers

snacks · baked goods · grains

Flour foundation. Crackers start with flour, which comes from grinding grains like wheat. This makes them a way to eat cereal grains in a crunchy, convenient form.

Flavor customization. Before or after baking, you can sprinkle salt, herbs, seeds, or cheese on crackers to give them different tastes. This means one basic dough can become dozens of different snacks.

Flat and dry. Crackers are baked until they're flat and dry, which helps them stay fresh longer than softer breads. The drying process also makes them extra crunchy when you bite into them.

Quick energy snack. People often eat crackers as a nutritious and convenient snack because they're easy to carry, store, and eat on the go.
