Crackers for children

Children's crackers are a type of light, crispy, and savory biscuit, specifically designed for children's consumption. These biscuits typically have a soft texture, small size, and a mild flavor that is appealing to children, making them easy to chew and digest. They are an excellent snack to accompany light meals or to include in children's recipes as bases for appetizers or desserts.

The origin of crackers dates back to Europe, as an evolution of traditional savory biscuits that have been part of the diet for centuries. However, versions designed for children have been developed more recently to meet the nutritional needs and preferences of the little ones.

Properties: These biscuits are usually made with simple ingredients such as wheat flour, water, salt, and are sometimes fortified with vitamins and minerals to support children's growth. They are low in sugars and fats, and stand out as a quick source of energy due to their carbohydrates. Additionally, some versions are free of preservatives and artificial additives, making them a healthy option among children's snacks.

Names and synonyms in Latin American Spanish: In different regions, these biscuits may be called by various names, although they are generally known as galletas crackers, galletitas saladas, galletitas crackers, or simply crackers para niños. In countries such as Mexico, Argentina, Colombia, and Chile, it is common to call them galletitas saladas, while in other regions they may also be referred to as galletitas de agua.
