Saltine crackers are thin, square, dry crackers made primarily from white flour, water, yeast, and baking soda, often topped with a light sprinkling of salt. Originating in the United States, these crackers are a staple in many households and are commonly used as a snack, a base for toppings, or as an accompaniment to soups and salads. Known for their neutral flavor and crisp texture, saltines are versatile but offer minimal nutritional value. They are low in fat and calories, which can be beneficial for individuals seeking a light snack, but they lack significant amounts of fiber, protein, and essential vitamins or minerals. The high sodium content in the salted varieties may be a consideration for those monitoring their salt intake. While not a significant source of nutrition, saltines are often recommended for easing digestive discomfort due to their mild and easy-to-digest quality.
