Saltine crackers
Mild, plain, and slightly salty, with a dry, crisp, flaky texture.
Lens analyzedSaltine crackers are thin, square, plain crackers with a light dusting of coarse salt on top, known for their crisp, dry texture and mild flavor. They're eaten alone, with soup, or crushed as a topping or breading.
Where it comes from
Saltine crackers were developed in the late 1800s using a fermentation process that gives them their light, flaky layers, and they've remained a pantry staple in North American households, especially paired with soup.
Buying it
Check the box for freshness and look for individually sleeved crackers inside, which help keep them crisp longer once the box is opened.
Storing it
Store saltine crackers in their sealed sleeves in the pantry, where they stay crisp for weeks; reseal opened sleeves tightly to prevent them from going stale.
Keeps about 6 months in the pantry.
