Description

Low-sodium wheat crackers are a type of cookie made primarily with wheat flour and specifically designed to contain a reduced amount of sodium, making them a healthy option for those looking to control their salt intake without giving up on flavor and crunchy texture. They are ideal for accompanying dishes, as a base for snacks, or for preparing light desserts.

These crackers originated from the need to offer healthier options within the bakery and pastry sector, especially for people with hypertension or those following low-sodium diets. Their production uses whole or refined wheat with a controlled process to minimize the content of added salt.

Regarding their properties, they provide complex carbohydrates that supply slow-release energy, fiber when they are whole grain, and are low in sodium, which helps maintain balanced blood pressure. They also contain small amounts of proteins and minerals present in wheat.

In different regions of Latin America, low-sodium wheat crackers may have different names, although an exact denomination does not always exist. Some synonyms or related terms could be: low-salt savory crackers, unsalted wheat biscuits, or simply light cookies. It is important to note that the most common expression is usually the direct description of the product, such as "low-sodium wheat crackers".
