Graham crackers are a type of lightly sweetened, crisp wafer made chiefly from whole wheat flour. Originating in the United States, they were invented in the early 19th century by Sylvester Graham, a preacher who advocated for a vegetarian diet and the use of whole-grain flour. They typically contain a combination of whole wheat flour, sugar, and spices, such as cinnamon, along with honey or molasses for added sweetness. Graham crackers are often enjoyed as a snack, used as a base for s'mores, or crushed into crumbs for pie crusts. While their whole wheat content provides dietary fiber and some nutrients, many commercial varieties contain added sugars and refined flours, which reduce their overall health benefits. Moderation is key when incorporating graham crackers into your diet, as their nutritional value depends on the recipe and brand.
