Triscuit Recipes to Serve at Your Next Party (2024)

FAQs

What goes best on Triscuits? ›

If you enjoy cheese products, I would expand outside of cheddar or Swiss and try a soft cheese such as Brie or Camembert. Brie comes in a variety of flavors; plain Brie is absolutely fabulous as well.

Whole Grain is the #1 ingredient in this product

Whole grains provide a good source of fiber, B vitamins and iron. They may also reduce the risk of heart disease and diabetes and are linked to lower body weight.

“Triscuits aren't a bad choice, since the first ingredient is whole grain wheat, which is what you want to look for,” says Sassos. But it's not a calorie bargain, so pay attention to how many you eat and what you pile on top of each cracker. “The serving size is pretty meek, at only six crackers for 120 calories.”

But all marketing aside, Ramsay says he does use Triscuits in his recipes, and for good reason. "[I like] how easy and convenient they are," he says. "The saltiness and flavor is unlike any biscuit which is crucial for chefs … it's multi-dimensional and versatile."

A Better Crunchy Choice

Triscuits are a much better option than chips because they are made from whole grains. They have ½ the calories that chips do, and more than twice the fiber.

Try offering a buttery, flaky cracker (such as Ritz) and a grain cracker (such as Triscuit) along with your bread. Water crackers are also virtually flavorless, allowing your other charcuterie flavors to shine.

Crackers With Seeds Are a Smart Pick

Look for crackers made from mostly or all seeds—think flax, sunflower, pumpkin, and more. “These supply healthy fats, fiber, and protein,” Keating says. They also tend to be gluten-free.

Most often, your snacks will be easy to digest foods that have 15 – 30 grams of carbohydrates. Here are some examples of snacks with around 15 grams of carbohydrate: 3 whole-wheat crackers (Triscuits) with 2 tbsp natural peanut butter = 15g.

Can Triscuits help with constipation? ›

Look for cereals with 4 or more grams of fiber per serving. Triscuits are a great snack cracker choice. Look for breads with at least 2 grams of fiber per slice. Typically these will be 100% whole-wheat versions, but some multigrain breads with nuts and/or seeds meet the 2-gram mark too.

The name Triscuit may have come from a combination of the words electricity and biscuit or the commonly held belief that "tri" is a reference to the three ingredients used (wheat, oil, and salt), but this is disputed due to conflicting adverts and poor records.

A basic Triscuit is nothing but whole grain wheat, oil and salt, baked not fried. No added sweeteners, no chemicals, no long list of unpronounceable ingredients.

The same company, Mondelēz International, makes crackers that would be considered ultra-processed, Ritz original, and ones that aren't ultra-processed, Triscuit original. Triscuit has three ingredients: whole grain wheat, canola oil and sea salt.

Original Triscuits are bland enough to complement an array of cheeses, not to mention other toppings like the slices of cherry tomatoes pictured on the Triscuit box, with enough salt to still be palatable. They're the only kind that will do for cheese and crackers. Few other crackers can achieve such a feat.

A Better Crunchy Choice

Triscuits are a much better option than chips because they are made from whole grains. They have ½ the calories that chips do, and more than twice the fiber.

A Triscuit, just in case you're somehow not familiar, is a square cracker made of shredded wheat. They're actually pretty healthy for you, with six of the crackers providing three grams of fiber for 120 calories and no sugar, which crackers tend to have a lot of for whatever reason.
