What it is

Graham crackers are a sweet-tasting biscuit made from graham flour, a type of whole wheat flour. They typically also contain oil or shortening, sugar, and molasses. The crackers are usually baked until crisp.

Why it's used

Graham crackers are often used as a topping or ingredient in desserts and breakfast foods. Their sweet flavor and crunchy texture make them a popular addition to yogurt, ice cream, and cheesecakes. They are also a key component in making s'mores.

Health notes

Graham crackers are generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used as intended. They are a source of carbohydrates and some fiber, depending on the flour used. Regulatory bodies like JECFA and EFSA have evaluated many food ingredients, but specific evaluations for graham crackers as a whole are not typically listed. Evidence does not suggest adverse health effects from typical consumption.

Allergen info

Graham crackers typically contain wheat, which is one of the 9 FDA major allergens. They may also contain soy or milk ingredients depending on the specific recipe. Gluten is present due to the wheat content.
