Description

Low-fat whole wheat crackers are a type of cracker made primarily with whole wheat flour, meaning they retain all parts of the grain, including the bran, germ, and endosperm. This makes them a more nutritious option compared to crackers made with refined flour, as they provide more fiber, vitamins, and minerals.

Wheat is a cereal grain originally from the Near East region and has been cultivated for thousands of years. The whole wheat flour used in these crackers comes from grinding the entire grain, which helps maintain its nutritional properties.

Low-fat whole wheat crackers are characterized as a healthy alternative for those looking to watch their diet, as they contain less saturated fat and added sugars than traditional crackers. They are ideal for snacks or to accompany hot beverages, providing sustained energy due to their content of fiber and complex carbohydrates.

In various Hispanic American countries, these crackers may be known by different names or synonyms such as whole grain crackers, whole wheat biscuits, or whole wheat cookies, always highlighting their whole grain composition and low-fat content.
