Fat-free savory crackers are a type of snack or culinary accompaniment characterized by their crunchy texture and slightly salty flavor, specifically made without adding fats in their preparation. These crackers are ideal for those seeking lighter and healthier options to accompany soups, salads, cheeses, or dips.
Their origin dates back to various cultures where crackers were used as a durable and easily transportable staple food. Today, fat-free versions have become popular worldwide as low-calorie alternatives with lower fat content.
Regarding their properties, fat-free savory crackers are typically low in calories and fats, providing carbohydrates as a primary source of energy. They are also often enriched with fiber if they contain whole grains, offering digestive benefits. They are a practical option for controlling calorie intake without sacrificing flavor and crunchy texture.
In the Hispanic American world, these products may be known by various synonyms, depending on the country, such as galletitas saladas, galletas saladas, cracker sin grasa, or simply light crackers. In some regions, they are also called picatostes salados, although this term can vary and refer to other types of toast or savory breads.
