Soda crackers, often referred to as saltines, are light, crispy snacks made primarily from flour, baking soda, yeast, and a small amount of fat, such as vegetable oil. A staple in North American cuisine, they originated in the 19th century and are widely enjoyed as a simple, versatile food that pairs well with soups, cheeses, or spreads. Their neutral flavor makes them a soothing choice for upset stomachs or a quick snack. Health-wise, soda crackers are low in fat and calories, making them a convenient option for light eating. However, they are often high in refined carbohydrates and sodium, providing minimal fiber, protein, or vitamins. While they can be part of a balanced diet when eaten in moderation, individuals seeking nutrient-dense options may consider pairing soda crackers with protein- or fiber-rich toppings for a more wholesome snack.
