What it is
Graham pieces are small, crunchy pieces made from crushed graham crackers. Graham crackers are typically made from graham flour, which is a type of whole wheat flour, along with sweeteners like sugar or honey, and leavening agents. They are baked until crisp.
Why it's used
Manufacturers add graham pieces for their sweet, slightly cinnamon-like flavor and crunchy texture. They are commonly used as a topping or inclusion in ice cream, frozen yogurt, and baked goods like cookies and bars. They can also be found in snack mixes.
Health notes
Graham pieces are generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used as intended in food. They are primarily a source of carbohydrates and some fiber from the whole wheat flour. International bodies like JECFA have evaluated many common food ingredients, but specific evaluations for 'graham pieces' as a distinct ingredient are not typically listed. The health impact of consuming graham pieces is similar to that of consuming graham crackers, mainly related to sugar and calorie intake.
Allergen info
Graham pieces are typically made with wheat flour, making them a source of gluten. Wheat is one of the 9 FDA major allergens. They may also contain other allergens depending on the specific ingredients used in the graham cracker base.
