Saltine crackers, also known as soda crackers, are thin, crisp snacks with a light, salty flavor. Typically made from simple ingredients like white flour, baking soda, yeast, and salt, these crackers are a staple in many households and cuisines. Originating in the United States in the early 19th century, they are often used as a base for cheese spreads, soups, or as a plain snack on their own. Saltines are low in fat and calories, making them a convenient option for those seeking a lighter bite. However, their refined flour and low fiber content provide limited nutritional value. While they can help settle nausea or act as bland food during digestive discomfort, they are not a substantial source of vitamins or minerals. Moderation is key, as their sodium content can add up if consumed in large quantities.
