Crackers
Dry and crisp, ranging from plain and neutral to heavily seasoned depending on variety.
Lens analyzedCrackers are thin, dry baked snacks, typically flour-based, ranging from plain water crackers to seasoned and flavored varieties. Their low moisture content is what gives them their signature snap and shelf stability.
Where it comes from
Dry, long-lasting flour biscuits were baked for travel and storage long before refrigeration existed, and the modern flavored cracker as a snack food took shape through 19th and 20th century commercial baking, turning a plain, practical food into a snack aisle regular.
Buying it
Give the box a gentle shake, crackers should sound crisp rather than dull or soft, and check for a recent production date.
Storing it
Keep the inner sleeve resealed tightly in the pantry to keep the crackers from going stale or soft.
Keeps about 6 months in the pantry.
