I love carefully curating a selection of organic cheeses, nutritious nuts, and fresh fruit. But if there’s one element that always presents a bit of a challenge, it’s crackers. I’m perpetually in search of cracker options that are reasonably healthy and contain ingredients I can actually get behind. Luckily, I’m here to report, they do exist. For ingredients, Frances Largeman-Roth, R.D., suggests looking for nutritious options with whole grains (where the main ingredient is whole wheat, whole oats, whole brown rice, etc.), nuts, fruits, and seeds. “Crackers are a simple food, and the ingredient list should reflect that. There’s no reason for store-bought crackers to have artificial ingredients,” says Moon. “In fact, there are plenty of options available today that are made with simple ingredients you’d find in a well-stocked pantry.” After testing out dozens of brands myself and getting recommendations from nutritionists, I’ve narrowed down a few tried-and-true favorite healthy crackers that actually fit the bill.
