Questions about Wheat cracker
How many wheat crackers is a sensible portion?
Use the packet’s serving guide, or weigh a few once to see what a 30 g portion looks like; cracker sizes vary. A 30 g portion provides 137 kcal.
What can you put on wheat crackers?
Try cheese with sliced pear, hummus with cucumber, or smoked salmon with a little lemon. For a quick canapé, spread with soft cheese and top with a thin slice of radish.
How do you keep wheat crackers crisp after opening?
Fold the inner packet tightly closed or transfer the crackers to an airtight tin, then keep them in a cool, dry cupboard. If they soften, spread them on a baking tray and warm at 160 °C for 3–5 minutes; cool fully before sealing again.
Can you use wheat crackers instead of breadcrumbs?
Yes: crush them finely in a bag with a rolling pin and use them to coat fish or chicken, or to bind a savoury mixture. They are often salted, so reduce any extra salt in the recipe.
Are wheat crackers the same as wholemeal crackers?
No. Wholemeal crackers are made with more of the wheat grain, including the bran, and typically contain more fibre: 10.3 g per 100 g compared with 6.9 g in wheat crackers.
Do wheat crackers contain gluten?
Yes, wheat crackers are made with wheat flour and contain gluten. They are not suitable for someone who needs to avoid gluten; recipes and ingredients can also include other allergens such as milk or sesame.
Can you eat wheat crackers with dips?
Yes. Their firm, dry texture works well with hummus, thick yoghurt dips, pâté or soft cheese; avoid very runny dips, which can make them soggy before you finish eating.
