About Animal crackers

Animal crackers are light, bite-sized snacks shaped like various animals, often made from flour, sugar, and vegetable oil, with salt, leavening agents, and spices for flavor. Originating in England in the 19th century, they became widely popular in the United States as an iconic children's treat. Despite their playful design, animal crackers are simple baked goods without heavy additives, offering a mild sweetness. Nutritionally, they tend to be low in fat and calories, making them a moderate option for a quick snack. However, they can contain added sugars and lack significant dietary fiber, vitamins, and minerals. They are not a significant protein source and are primarily composed of carbohydrates. While not considered a health food, animal crackers can be enjoyed as an occasional treat, especially in portion-controlled servings. Opting for varieties with whole grains or reduced sugar can slightly enhance their nutritional profile.
