Saltine crackers, originally associated with American cuisine, are thin, square-shaped crackers made from simple ingredients: white flour, water, yeast, baking soda, and salt. Their mild flavor and crisp texture make them a versatile snack or accompaniment to soups, salads, and dips. Saltines are low in fat but typically contain a notable amount of sodium, which may be a concern for individuals monitoring their salt intake. While they offer minimal nutrients—providing small amounts of carbohydrates for energy—they lack significant fiber, vitamins, or minerals. Some formulations may include added fats or preservatives, depending on the brand. Saltines are often favored for their easy digestibility, making them a popular choice for settling upset stomachs or as part of a bland diet. However, their refined flour and limited nutritional value mean they should be enjoyed in moderation within a balanced diet.
