Crackers

Can I give crackers to my toddler?

It's generally a good idea to wait until your toddler is about 3 years old to give them crackers as they can be a choking hazard, especially crackers with seeds and nuts. However, you will find that you can buy crackers, cookies, and biscuits designed specifically for toddlers.

Do crackers really help with morning sickness and nausea?

Bland crackers are thought to help with problems like nausea and morning sickness. They're light on your stomach, and some studies have shown that they may absorb some of the acid that makes you feel sick rather than causing your stomach to produce more acid like heavier and more flavorful foods. Saltines are usually a great choice, but any type of salty cracker without additional flavoring might work.

How many crackers do I need for a party of 20 people?

How many crackers you'll need for a party depends on what else you're serving. For example, if you're serving cheese and crackers, 3 pounds of cheese is recommended for 20 people with approximately 160 crackers. If you're also serving meats with the cheese, double your crackers. For each dip you serve, you'll want about five to 10 crackers per person, so you'd need between 100 and 200 crackers for each dip for 20 guests.
