Bolacha Marinheira, a staple of Portuguese cuisine, is a thin, crispy cracker traditionally inspired by the sea voyages of mariners. Made primarily from wheat flour, water, salt, olive oil, and occasionally enriched with sesame, flax, or sunflower seeds, these crackers offer a light and wholesome taste. They are baked, not fried, contributing to their low-fat content. Rich in complex carbohydrates, Bolacha Marinheira serves as a satisfying and energy-dense snack, ideal for pairing with cheese, spreads, or soups. While relatively low in saturated fats, their sodium content can be significant due to the added salt, making portion control essential. This mild and versatile snack is appreciated for its simplicity and is a healthier alternative to heavily processed chips or crackers, provided consumption is balanced within a varied diet. Originating in Portugal, it reflects the resourcefulness and culinary traditions of maritime explorers.
