1 serving (medium) of Salted cracker (30 g) has 129 calories. That works out to 430 calories per 100 g. It contains 21.6 g of carbs, 2.7 g of protein, 3.3 g of fat and 0.9 g of fiber. Its 285 mg of Sodium covers 12% of the Daily Value. Its glycemic index is 72 (high), so it raises blood sugar quickly.
Salted cracker is a thin, baked savoury biscuit with a crisp texture and a sprinkling of salt. It is a familiar packaged snack in many places, valued for its long-lasting crunch and convenience rather than as a meal in itself.
Its dry, mildly savoury bite works well with cheese, hummus, or sliced vegetables, and it is often served alongside soup or a cup of tea. The crackers are mainly a source of carbohydrates, with some fat and a little fibre. For a more balanced snack, pair a modest portion with a protein-rich topping or fresh produce; they also make an easy addition to a lunchbox or travel snack.

Low
An EatBetter score computed from fiber, protein and calorie density. A high score means staying full longer on the same calories.
Both scores are calculated per 100 g and do not change with the selected portion. The satiety score is EatBetter's own calculation, not a clinical measure.

A salted cracker is typically made with wheat flour, oil, salt and raising agents. Commercial versions are ultra-processed foods: the dough is mixed, shaped and baked in a factory, and the exact recipe varies by product.
Salted crackers do not treat nausea, but their dry, plain texture may be easier for some people to tolerate when they feel queasy. Their saltiness can make you thirsty, and they are not a remedy for persistent or severe symptoms.
Salted crackers pair well with cheese, hummus, soup or a mild dip. Adding a protein-rich topping such as cheese can make the snack more filling than eating the crackers on their own.
The small holes let steam escape as salted crackers bake. This helps prevent large air bubbles from forming and gives the crackers their even, crisp texture.
Keep salted crackers in an airtight container in a cool, dry place. Exposure to air and moisture makes them lose their crispness; discard them if you notice mold, an unusual smell or other signs of spoilage.
Yes, if they have only gone soft from moisture, briefly warming salted crackers in a low oven and letting them cool can restore some crispness. Do not try to salvage crackers that are moldy or smell off.
Yes, crushed salted crackers can replace breadcrumbs as a coating or binder in many recipes. They add extra salt, so reduce the salt elsewhere in the recipe and crush them to the texture you need.
Salted crackers do not cause weight gain on their own, but they are easy to snack on in larger amounts than intended. Keeping a serving in a bowl instead of eating from the packet can help you manage how much you eat.
Yes, the refined flour and starch in salted crackers can raise blood sugar. Eating them with a source of protein or fiber may slow the rise compared with eating the crackers alone.
Salted crackers can fit as an occasional snack, but they are not especially nourishing on their own: they are salty and made from refined flour. Pair them with a more substantial topping rather than relying on them as a regular meal.
