Low sodium Ritz crackers

Low-sodium Ritz crackers are a reduced-salt version of the classic Ritz crackers, known for their crispy texture and slightly buttery flavor. These baked crackers, made primarily from wheat flour, vegetable oils, and yeast, are designed for those seeking a healthier option that preserves the characteristic taste without exceeding sodium intake.

Their origin dates back to the United States, where the Ritz brand has been a benchmark for crackers since the early 20th century. The low-sodium version meets the needs of specific diets, such as for people with hypertension or those who prefer to control their salt intake.

In terms of properties, these crackers are a quick source of carbohydrates and energy, ideal for pairing with cheeses, dips, or as a base for appetizers. Being low in sodium, they help reduce fluid retention and contribute to maintaining healthy blood pressure, without sacrificing too much flavor and texture.

In the Latin American context, although there are no exact synonyms for "low-sodium Ritz crackers," they are often called low-salt crackers or reduced-sodium crackers. In different countries, crackers may be known simply as galletitas saladas or galletitas, but the "Ritz" brand is widely recognized and used as a reference.
