Hexagon Crackers Costco

[Yaima President]

Oystercrackers are a wheat-based cracker with a taste and texture similar to a saltine, though they traditionally have less salt. They come in two different forms: large, dense balls (perfect for horseradish) and small hexagonal crackers that usually come in individual packages next to bowls of chowder.

Oyster crackers are a uniquely Northeastern creation with two conflicting origins. The Westminster Cracker Company claims to have been making oyster crackers since 1828. But Adam Exton, a baker from Trenton, New Jersey, also gets credit. According to the Smithsonian, he first created oyster crackers and sold them under the brand O.T.C. (Original Trenton Cracker) in 1847.

Beyond that, I have used the hexagonal crackers as a crunchy addition to my salads in the same way you might add wonton strips or crispy onions. My mom has also used them as an ingredient replacement in Chex Mix.
