Saltine crackers, also known as soda crackers, are thin, crisp baked crackers made from simple ingredients such as flour, water, yeast, baking soda, and salt. Originating in the United States in the 19th century, they are a staple in American cuisine and widely used as a snack or accompaniment to soups. Their mild flavor and light texture make them versatile for both sweet and savory pairings. While saltines are low in fat and calories, they are not particularly nutrient-dense, offering minimal fiber, vitamins, or minerals. They are, however, easy to digest, which makes them a popular choice for soothing nausea or an upset stomach. The high sodium content is a factor to consider for those monitoring their salt intake. Overall, saltine crackers are a convenient, simple food that can be enjoyed in moderation within a balanced diet.
