What it is
Graham bits are small, crunchy pieces made from crushed graham crackers. They are typically produced by breaking down fully baked graham crackers into smaller fragments.
Why it's used
Manufacturers use graham bits to add texture and a distinct graham cracker flavor to a variety of baked goods and confectionery. They are commonly found in cookies, cakes, cupcakes, and as a topping or inclusion in desserts like pies and ice cream.
Health notes
Graham bits are generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used as a food ingredient. They are primarily composed of carbohydrates and do not have specific regulatory limits for intake. International bodies like JECFA and EFSA have evaluated similar ingredients, but specific evaluations for 'graham bits' as a distinct entity are not widely published.
Allergen info
Graham bits are derived from graham crackers, which typically contain wheat. Wheat is one of the nine FDA major allergens. Gluten, found in wheat, is also present.
