About Crackers, saltines (includes oyster, soda, soup)
Saltines — also called soda crackers — are thin, square, crisp crackers with a lightly salted top and the rows of small holes (docking) that keep them flat as they bake. Plain and mild, they are a pantry staple and the go-to cracker for soups, and for settling an unsettled stomach.
Because individual crackers are tiny, the per-100-gram numbers look big — about 421 calories — but a single saltine is only around 3 grams, so a few crackers are a modest snack. They are low in fat and offer some carbohydrate and a little fiber and protein, but they are also high in sodium (over 1,100 milligrams per 100 grams) and made from refined flour, so they are filler more than nourishment.
Saltines are most useful as a vehicle and a base — crumbled into soup, topped with cheese or peanut butter, or eaten plain when a bland, easy-to-digest food is wanted. Whole-grain and unsalted versions offer a little more fiber or less sodium.
