Rye flour is an excellent source of fiber, which promotes digestive health, helps maintain stable blood sugar levels, and contributes to a feeling of fullness, aiding in weight management.
These crackers are made with whole-grain rye flour, providing important nutrients like B vitamins, iron, and magnesium that are essential for energy production and overall health.
The soluble fiber in rye can help lower cholesterol levels. Additionally, caraway seeds have been associated with anti-inflammatory properties, both of which contribute to cardiovascular wellness.
Each serving, which is approximately 8 crackers, contains about 180 calories. This can vary slightly based on the exact thickness and size of your crackers.
Yes, these homemade rye crackers can be a healthy choice. Rye is a whole grain rich in fiber, which supports digestion and helps you feel full. Making them at home allows you to control the amount of salt and fat, making them a healthier alternative to many store-bought options.
This is usually due to two reasons: the dough was not rolled thinly enough, or they were not baked long enough. Aim for a 1/16-inch thickness and bake until the edges are a clear golden brown. Also, ensure they cool completely on a wire rack, as they continue to crisp up as they cool.
Rye flour naturally contains gluten. To make this recipe gluten-free, you would need to substitute both the rye and all-purpose flours with a suitable gluten-free flour blend. This will significantly alter the flavor and texture of the final product.
Once the crackers have cooled completely to room temperature, store them in an airtight container. They will stay fresh and crisp for up to one week.
