What it is
Graham squares are a type of cracker made primarily from graham flour, a coarsely ground whole wheat flour. They are typically sweetened and baked until crisp.
Why it's used
Manufacturers use graham squares as a component in snack mixes, trail mixes, and as a base or inclusion in various desserts like cakes, cupcakes, and snack cakes. They provide a crunchy texture and a mild, sweet flavor to these products.
Health notes
Graham squares are a common food item and are generally recognized as safe (GRAS) for consumption as a food. As a composite food product, they are not subject to specific additive regulations by the FDA, but their individual ingredients are. They primarily provide carbohydrates and, due to the graham flour, can contribute dietary fiber. No specific health controversies are associated with the consumption of graham squares themselves, beyond general dietary considerations for processed foods.
Allergen info
Graham squares are made from wheat, which is one of the nine major food allergens identified by the FDA. Wheat also contains gluten.
