The best saltines are crunchy, salty, and they don’t make your mouth dry. Before this taste test, I felt confused by the idea of the “best saltine crackers.” I mean, they’re…saltines? They’re bland crackers you buy when you’re sick. How could one possibly be better than another? Needless to say, I was extremely skeptical.
Luckily, I was wrong. I tried tons of boxes of saltines to find to the best saltine crackers at the grocery store, and trust me when I say this: We found the best saltines and they aren’t bland at all.

I wouldn’t recommend unsalted saltines to someone who can eat regular saltines. They’re just not as good! I know that there are people who are watching their salt so I wanted to include these for y’all. They are the best unsalted saltines you can buy. I don’t think you’d miss the salt if you were eating these with soup or tuna salad. Low sodium squad, buy these!

I cannot believe how much I liked these Premium Whole Grain Saltines. No, not like. Love! I ended up bringing the box home with me and eating them with lunch for the next week. The whole grain really adds a pleasant nuttiness and complexity, making it easily one of the best saltines we tried in our taste test. I will keep buying these.

- Signature Kitchen Saltine Crackers

If you want salty saltines (like I do), go get these Signature Selects Saltine Crackers. They are so heavily salted. I don’t know why all saltines aren’t like this. They are so salty and flaky and flavorful that you could totally eat them on their own as a nice snack. And before you ask: Yes, they are better than the classic Premium saltines.

- Saladitas

If you know what’s up, you’re buying Saladitas. I’ve had these at Mexican restaurants because they sometimes serve them with ceviche or aguachile. They are, without a doubt, the best saltine crackers money can buy. They are flaky, salty, and crispy. They aren’t dry at all. They’re super sturdy. Plus, they come individually wrapped in packs of three so you don’t have to worry about them going stale. I love you, Saladitas!
