About Saltines

Saltines, also known as soda crackers, are thin, square-shaped crackers known for their mild flavor and crisp texture. Originating in the United States during the 19th century, they are made from simple ingredients including white flour, baking soda, water, and salt. Some varieties may include oils or sugars for added texture or sweetness. While saltines are low in fat and calories, they offer minimal nutritional value, containing small amounts of carbohydrates and sodium without significant protein, fiber, or vitamins. Due to their plain taste and easy digestibility, saltines are often used as a soothing option for upset stomachs or as a base for dips, spreads, or soups in American cuisine. However, their highly processed nature and potential for high sodium content make them a snack best enjoyed in moderation, particularly for those managing blood pressure or seeking more nutrient-dense alternatives.
