Best Bites: Crackers

You are looking to buy crackers, but there are so many choices!  What is the healthiest cracker?

Many common crackers  contain enriched flour, food coloring, trans fat (aka partially hydrogenated oils), high fructose corn syrup, sugar, added fibers, preservatives and other food additives.  Who needs all of that?

My advice is to buy a cracker with only a few ingredients.  Make sure "whole wheat" one is the first ingredient listed.

• Reduced-Fat Triscuits have whole grain wheat, soybean oil, and salt.  That's it!  
• Trader Joe's and Whole Foods make similar crackers 

These crackers have few ingredients, are high in fiber and very tasty!   They can be used as part of a healthy snack with apples, cheese and cinnamon.  More recipes to come.
