About Pilot bread

Pilot Bread, also known as hardtack or ship’s biscuit, is a dense, shelf-stable cracker made primarily from flour, water, and salt. Originally used as a sustaining food for sailors and soldiers, Pilot Bread has roots in maritime and military history, offering a durable option that resists spoilage. Its simplicity and longevity make it popular in survival kits, outdoor adventures, and regions like Alaska and Hawaii, where it is often paired with butter or spreads. Nutritionally, it provides a source of carbohydrates but lacks significant protein, fiber, or micronutrients, reflecting its focus on practicality rather than balanced nutrition. While the simplicity of ingredients avoids added sugars and preservatives, it is high in refined carbs and often served with calorie-heavy toppings. Pilot Bread remains a versatile staple for emergencies and cultural traditions, valued for its long shelf life and portability.
