If you’re looking for a crunchy base for toppings, wholegrain rye crispbread is one option to compare for fibre. For a more distinctive flavour, try sourdough or sesame varieties. A cracker marketed with a focus on carbohydrates is a different kind of product, and not automatically a better choice: compare the nutritional information per 100 g and per serving, and include any toppings. If you need a gluten-free option, check that the current packaging explicitly labels the product as gluten-free.
You’re looking for a crunchy base for toppings and want to compare fibre content. The Netherlands Nutrition Centre lists 1.4 g of fibre per 10 g piece of wholegrain crispbread; check the nutritional information on the packaging to compare your options.
For a late-night snack, you might choose a rye variety with sourdough or a thin sesame cracker. Compare the specific varieties for salt, allergens and the amount you eat, too.
You want to compare carbohydrates or protein, or need to take gluten or other allergens into account. For carbohydrate and protein claims, check the specific variety. If you need a gluten-free option, look for the label and allergen information on the current packaging.
Decide what matters most for your late-night snack, then compare the nutritional information, ingredients and serving size of the options that fit. A thin sesame cracker, rye crispbread and a cracker marketed as a lower-carbohydrate alternative aren’t necessarily interchangeable.
| What to consider | What to check | Who is this most important to? |
|---|---|---|
| Fibre and grain base | Compare fibre per 100 g and per serving, and check which grains are used. | When I eat crispbread with toppings, I want to know how much fibre my chosen serving contains. For around 45% of consumers, fibre is the top priority. |
| Flavour and texture | Consider whether you want rye, sourdough or a thin cracker with seeds; check the salt and allergens, too. | For a small late-night snack, I care more about a distinctive flavour or a different crunch than a neutral base. Flavour and texture matter most to around 27% of consumers. |
| Carbohydrates and protein | Compare carbohydrates and protein per 100 g and per serving of the specific cracker you eat. | I want to choose a cracker that fits the nutritional values I’m keeping an eye on, rather than relying only on a claim on the front of the pack. Around 18% of consumers prioritise carbohydrates or protein. |
| Gluten and allergens | Read the current allergen information; if you need a gluten-free option, look for an explicit gluten-free label. | If I need to avoid gluten or another allergen, the label determines which variety I can consider. This is the top priority for around 10% of consumers. |
Sourdough, seeds and a thin texture don’t tell you how much fibre or salt a variety contains.
First decide what matters to you, then compare the nutritional information and ingredients on the packaging of the specific product.
The amount of crispbread and the toppings together determine what you end up eating. For example, the Netherlands Nutrition Centre lists 35 kcal for one 10 g piece of high-fibre crispbread, without toppings.
Compare the nutritional information with the amount you actually eat, and include any toppings.
The absence of an obvious wheat or rye ingredient doesn’t, by itself, mean a product is labelled gluten-free. For processed grains, the Netherlands Nutrition Centre advises looking for the words ‘gluten-free’ or the Crossed Grain symbol.
If you need a gluten-free option, check the current packaging, including the label and allergen information.
