There are countless types of crackers on the shelves in supermarkets, but most of them don't exactly meet my criteria as an mbg health editor. I'm always looking for a reasonably healthy and ingredient-containing cracker option.

What to look for in a healthy cracker.

Let's rewind  a little. What is really considered a "healthy cracker"? Like Maggie Moon, R.D. Expresses it perfectly. "I'm a fan of crackers who feel like real food. This may sound vague, but  when you see it and when you taste it, you know it. They feel rich. You know there is something good there.

For materials, Francis Large Manros, R.D. It's a good idea to look for nutritious options that include whole grains (mainly whole grains, whole oats,  brown rice, etc.), nuts, fruits, and seeds.

And what should we avoid? Moon recommends avoiding over-processed grains and over-added sugar. In addition, mbg tries to avoid products containing unhealthy vegetable oils as much as possible.

“Cracker is a simple food and the ingredient list needs to reflect that. There is no reason why crackers purchased in stores contain artificial ingredients,” says Moon. "In fact, today there are many options  made with simple ingredients, such as those found in a well-stocked pantry."

Orga Foods Super Crisps

Another seed forward cracker, these nutritious chips, contains seven simple ingredients: flaxseed, sunflower seeds, chia seeds, sesame seeds, pumpkin seeds, chick bean flour, and  pink sunflower salt. It has been. I love them packing 6 grams of fiber and protein per serving, along with a dose of plant-based omega 3. Unless you're a  seed fan, these chips probably won't suit your taste-but if not, they're a great, fulfilling option.

Bob's Red Mill Oat Crackers

I have a lot of support for many of Bob's red mill products, so I was excited to learn about these brand new oat crackers.  "I love the new Bob's oat crackers. I also love the fact that the first ingredient is whole grain  flour," says LargemanRoth, who says it has the same crunchy texture as her childhood favorite  crackers. I added that it is good. "In addition, one serving contains 3 grams of vegetable protein. This is a bonus." Again, you can do it without  sunflower oil, but otherwise these health I love traditional crackers.

Annie's Homegrown White Cheddar Squares

Baked with white cheddar cheese, these squares are a healthy alternative to the cheesy crackers I loved when I was a kid. They are delicious on their own or as part of a snack tray. These little crackers also contain sunflower oil, but  like all the other ingredients on the list, I'm guessing they're expeller-pressed organic.

Simple Mills Original Organic Seed Flour Crackers

These tasty crackers hit the cabinets in advance this yr and at once have become one in every of my favorites. They impressively accommodate maximum nutritional desires and meals sensitivities (assume gluten-free, grain-free, corn-free, and vegan). While many alt-crackers comprise a laundry listing of processed additives, those characteristic a clear, easy factor listing—with a seed flour mixture and cassava flour because the famous person components. The handiest factor I don`t love is the sunflower oil, however each different factor is on point.

Hippie Snacks Almond Crisps

Another great gluten-free option, these delicious almond chips are a new discovery from Largeman Roth. I'm a big fan of  simple, minimally processed material listings. In addition to almonds, it contains nutritious cassava flour, sunflower seeds, hemp seeds, rosemary and plantain husks. These are all outstanding in my book. These are great if  your charcuterie board needs a light, ultra-crispy cracker or a quick snack.

Mary's Gone Super Seed Crackers

These simple seed crackers have been one of my gotos for years. Classic flavors are a staple of my pantry, but I also love the new flavors of rosemary, basil, garlic, and all crackers. This is certainly one of the rustic-tasting crackers on this list, and not suitable for everyone, but even whole-grain brown rice, whole-grain quinoa, brown flaxseed, and even seaweed.

Hu Kitchen Grain-Free Crackers

I'm a big fan of the flavor and simplicity of so many HuKitchen foods-and these all-purpose crackers are no exception. Based on almond, cassava and coconut flour, it is made by blending umami coconut amino acids. These rugged crackers go well with a variety of dips, but I like to combine them with Monty's plant-based cream cheese for a fun "all bagel" experience.

Ak-Mak Sesame Crackers

When it comes to easy, reliable and healthy crackers, Moon says her favorite is from Ak Mak. These are  traditional Armenian-style flatbread crackers made  with a touch of organic whole grain flour, sesame seeds, oils, and clover honey for sweetness. Please note that these are not for vegans as they contain milk butter in addition to honey.

Top Seedz Cumin Crackers

These crunchy crackers are perfect as a hearty side of a charcuterie platter, either with guacamole or in harmony with hummus. They contain cumin  for even more flavorful punches, along with nutrient-rich seed blends.

Wasa Multi-Grain Crispbread

This may be one of the most classic "healthy crackers" in the world, and I'm all for those simple crisp breads. Featuring a variety of whole grains and fairly neutral flavors, it's the perfect vehicle for delicious toppings.
