favorite snack cracker?
 
does any one have suggestions for a good snack cracker that is LOW in salt? seems every time i find a cracker with flavor, it is way too salty!

I get these crackers from Costco. They are called Ancient Grains (kirkland brand) I absolutely love them. The first cracker I can eat all by itself. They have 150mg of salt (6%). Don't know if that is to much, but they don't taste like a lot of salt.

I got a whole grain from Keebler awhile ago. very tasty, I don't know about salt though.
guess you have to look at every box to be sure. good luck

there isn't a Costco near where i live -- don't know how far one is either -- wonder if they sell those anywhere else
i've tried just about every cracker in the store aisle & can't seem to find a low salt tasting one

Where the heck are you shopping?? My local grocery stores (Safeway, Winco, Albertson's, Fred Meyer aka Kroger) all carry about 6 or 7 different kinds of low-sodium crackers. I bought them for my FIL because he was restricted to a low-sodium diet. They tasted like cardboard to me, but you may find them to your liking if the others seem too salty.

​If you find crackers to salty, you might like to try roasted pita bread chips. You should be able to Google a recipe for doing them in the oven.

same idea, love ancient grains, if you need low salt check out Pacific Rim for soup base, 3 % sodium. M y DH has to keep salt super low, nothing over 9 % so I'm the salt checker for all brands, some artichoke hearts are a3 % same brand but bigger pieces 21 %. also beware of cheeses. Watch for brands made out of US, they are much lower in sodium and chemicals. I shop at Tuesday Mornings, and Big lots because they get the stuff from the "high end" stores that are lo in sodium

I love Wheat Thins. They make one with just a touch of salt.

I believe Triscuit makes a low salt version as well. Also the only cracker I've found that has no flour or sugar.

Hmm, what is it made of if not flour? And why not flour?
