Crackers can make healthy snacks.
A healthy diet can be sabotaged by an unhealthy snack. That is why it is important to make sure you keep healthy snacks in your kitchen, such as crackers. When selecting a type of cracker from the grocery store, there are factors to consider such as nutritional value and taste. If you are interested in healthier crackers, consider ones that are made from whole grains. If you are more concerned with taste, look for crackers that have herbs and spices mixed into the ingredients.

Graham Crackers
A graham cracker is an eating option for cracker lovers who are looking to satisfy their sweet tooth. Though they are made with whole wheat, it is the honey that gives the crackers their distinctive taste. Invented by Sylvester Graham in the 1830s, the crackers were initially marketed as a health food. Graham crackers can be a satisfying snack alone, but can also be paired with other items to make a dessert. S'mores are classic camping treats that are made with graham crackers, chocolate and marshmallows. The crackers can also be used to make pie crust.
