Description

Low-Fat Cinnamon Graham Crackers are a type of whole grain cracker made with whole wheat flour, sweetened and flavored with cinnamon, specifically designed to provide a delicious taste with a reduced fat content. These crackers offer a crispy texture and a characteristic spicy note, ideal for use in desserts such as cheesecake bases, as an accompaniment to hot beverages, or simply as a healthy snack.

Their origin dates back to the late 19th century in the United States, when Reverend Sylvester Graham promoted a diet based on whole and natural foods to improve digestive health. The traditional Graham cracker was created as a healthy food and has since been modernized with different variants, including cinnamon and low-fat versions.

Among their main properties, their dietary fiber content from the whole wheat flour, their low saturated fat content, and their natural flavor without excess sugars or added fats stand out. This makes them a popular choice for those looking to watch their diet without giving up the pleasure of a good snack or ingredient in homemade recipes.

In different Latin American countries, Graham crackers may also be known as whole grain cookies, oatmeal cookies (although they don't always technically contain oats), or simply whole grain cereal cookies. However, the term Graham crackers is quite recognized within the culinary context, especially when referring to dessert bases.
