1 piece (medium) of Grain cracker (10 g) has 39 calories. That works out to 390 calories per 100 g. It contains 8 g of carbs, 0.8 g of protein, 0.3 g of fat and 0.5 g of fiber. Its glycemic index is 70 (high), so it raises blood sugar quickly.
A grain cracker is a thin, crisp cracker made from grain flour or crushed and puffed grains, often with visible whole-grain pieces. Recipes vary by brand, so the flavour may be mild and toasty or slightly nutty; it is a convenient snack rather than a dish tied to one particular place.
Eat it plain for a light crunch, or top it with cheese, hummus, avocado or sliced vegetables. It works as a quick breakfast or snack in many households, including as an alternative to bread. It is mostly carbohydrate, relatively low in fat and provides some fibre. Pair it with a protein-rich topping if you want a more filling bite.

Medium
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.

Grain crackers can fit into a weight-loss eating plan, but they are not a weight-loss food. Their light, crisp texture makes it easy to eat several; pairing one with a protein-rich topping can make a snack more satisfying.
Grain crackers can replace bread occasionally, but they are not automatically nutritionally equivalent. Use them as a crisp base for a meal, and add a substantial topping such as eggs, cheese, or hummus rather than eating them plain.
Grain crackers work well with toppings that add moisture and protein, such as cottage cheese, hummus, nut butter, or sliced egg. For a quick sweet snack, add yogurt and fruit; add toppings shortly before eating to keep the crackers crisp.
Yes, grain crackers can raise blood sugar, and their glycemic index is high. Eating them with a protein-rich food may make the snack more balanced, but people managing diabetes should follow their individual meal plan.
Grain crackers are not especially filling on their own because they are thin and light. Pair them with protein, such as cheese or hummus, and vegetables to make a snack that is more satisfying than crackers alone.
Yes, you can eat grain crackers at night; the time of day does not make them inherently harmful. If you want a more satisfying evening snack, add a modest protein-rich topping instead of eating several crackers by themselves.
Keep grain crackers crisp by sealing them in an airtight container and storing them somewhere cool and dry. Moisture makes them lose their crunch; briefly warming softened crackers in an oven can help restore some crispness.
Grain crackers may contain a mix of grains and are usually baked as thin, crisp pieces; rice cakes are primarily made from puffed rice. Their texture and taste differ, and the exact grain mix in a cracker can vary.
Yes, you can make a homemade cracker by mixing grain flour or oats with water, rolling the mixture very thin, cutting it, and baking until crisp. Homemade crackers may be less uniform and have a different texture from packaged ones.
Grain crackers can be a convenient snack for children who are ready for crunchy foods. Serve them with a soft topping such as hummus or cheese, and supervise young children while eating because a dry, crisp cracker can be difficult to manage.
