Hey Foodies, Let’s experience the delight of these healthy crackers!

We received these fine Volro crackers from Jakob’s Basler Leckerly a Swiss Biscuit Manufacture from Basel since 1753.

Historical Roots: Crackers have been traced back to Ancient Rome, where soldiers baked a type of biscuit known as “bucretum” made from flour and water.

Invention: The modern cracker as we know it today was invented in the early 19th century by American baker Josiah Bent, who accidentally left a batch of biscuits in the oven for too long, resulting in crispy crackers.

Nutritional Value: While some crackers are relatively low in calories and fat, they can also vary significantly in terms of nutritional content. Whole grain crackers, for example, can be a good source of fiber, while others may be higher in sodium or refined carbohydrates.

Long Shelf Life: Due to their low moisture content, crackers have a relatively long shelf life compared to other baked goods. Properly stored, they can last for several months or even years, making them a convenient pantry staple.

The VOLRO crackers: made from whole grain and rye meal – was developed as healthy children’s food in the 1920s.

“Food is not just nourishment, it’s an expression of culture, a celebration of life, and a source of endless joy.””
