Multigrain cracker

Multigrain cracker is a type of crispy cracker made with a combination of different whole grains, such as wheat, oats, corn, rye, and seeds (like flax, chia, or sunflower). These crackers are known for their slightly salty flavor and firm, crunchy texture, making them an ideal accompaniment for cheeses, dips, spreads, or as a base for healthy appetizers.

Their origin is based on the tradition of crackers, primarily used in Western cuisine to complement dishes or as snacks. With the rise of healthy eating, the multigrain version has gained popularity for including various grains and seeds that provide greater nutritional value.

Regarding their properties, the multigrain cracker is an important source of dietary fiber, plant-based proteins, and healthy fats derived from seeds. Furthermore, they usually contain a moderate amount of complex carbohydrates and minerals such as iron, magnesium, and zinc. It is an energizing and satiating option that helps maintain a balance between flavor and health.

In different regions of Latin America, this ingredient may have various synonyms, such as multigrain crackers, whole wheat salted crackers, or simply salted crackers when it is understood that they include various grains. However, it is important to note that the term "multigrain cracker" is the most descriptive and common in culinary contexts to refer to this specific product.
