Crackers are marketed as biscuits made from healthy ingredients. Most of the consumers consider crackers as healthy snacks, as it has lesser calories than others. Apart from traditional saltine crackers, many vendors have launched various healthful crackers to meet the demands of health-conscious consumers."
