Crackers
Crackers are a pantry staple that offer the perfect combination of crunch, convenience, and versatility. Whether you enjoy them as a quick snack, a side for soups and salads, or the base for appetizers and cheese boards, crackers bring flavor and function to every bite. At Benefit Market, our cracker selection includes traditional favorites, whole grain varieties, gluten-free options, and better-for-you blends made with seeds, legumes, or ancient grains.
Nutritional Benefits
Crackers can be a wholesome snack when made with nutritious ingredients. Whole grain and multigrain crackers offer dietary fiber, complex carbohydrates, and essential nutrients like B vitamins, iron, and magnesium. Fiber supports digestive health and helps you feel fuller longer, making whole grain crackers a smart choice for in-between meals.
Crackers made with seeds such as flax, chia, or sunflower provide healthy fats, plant-based protein, and omega-3 fatty acids, which may help reduce inflammation and support heart health. Some varieties also include legumes like chickpeas or lentils, boosting protein and adding essential minerals like potassium and zinc.
Many crackers are now made with minimal processing and simple ingredient lists, offering a convenient and portion-friendly way to enjoy balanced snacking without added preservatives or artificial ingredients.
Serving Tips
Crackers are incredibly versatile and can be paired with both sweet and savory toppings. Enjoy them with cheese, nut butters, hummus, or sliced avocado for a quick and satisfying snack. Add sliced fruit, smoked salmon, or hard-boiled eggs to elevate your snack or appetizer plate.
For entertaining, arrange a selection of crackers on a charcuterie board alongside meats, cheeses, dips, olives, and fresh or dried fruit. Use flavored crackers—such as herb, garlic, or pepper varieties—to complement different pairings and create a dynamic taste experience.
Crackers also make a convenient base for bite-sized hors d’oeuvres. Top with cream cheese and cucumber slices, spread with pesto and cherry tomatoes, or add a touch of fig jam with brie for a sweet-savory contrast.
Crushed crackers can be used in recipes as a topping for casseroles, a binder for meatballs or veggie patties, or a crunchy crust for baked chicken or fish.
Health Suggestions
To make crackers a healthy part of your routine, look for those with whole food ingredients and at least 2–3 grams of fiber per serving. Choose low-sodium or reduced-salt varieties when possible, especially if you’re watching your blood pressure or sodium intake.
Avoid crackers with added sugars, hydrogenated oils, or long ingredient lists with artificial preservatives. Instead, opt for options made with whole grains, seeds, or legume-based flours.
For a balanced snack, pair crackers with a source of protein or healthy fat—such as hummus, nut butter, or low-fat cheese—to promote satiety and prevent blood sugar spikes.
At Benefit Market, our cracker collection makes healthy snacking simple and enjoyable. Whether you’re packing a lunch, building a snack board, or reaching for something quick and crunchy, our crackers deliver flavor, variety, and nourishment in every bite.
