Graham Crackers

Graham crackers are a sweet-tasting cracker or biscuit. They are typically made from graham flour, which is a type of whole wheat flour, along with sugar, honey, and oil or shortening. The crackers are baked until crisp.

Graham crackers are often used as a base for desserts like cheesecakes and pies, or as an ingredient in crumbled form for toppings. They are also popular on their own as a snack, especially when paired with marshmallows and chocolate to make s'mores. Their slightly sweet flavor and crisp texture make them versatile in both sweet and savory applications.

Graham flour is a whole grain, providing dietary fiber. The added sugars and fats contribute calories. The FDA considers graham flour to be Generally Recognized As Safe (GRAS). International bodies like JECFA have evaluated many common food ingredients, but specific evaluations for graham crackers themselves are not typically listed. At typical consumption levels, they are considered a safe food product.
