Crackers
Crackers do a lot of quiet work — under cheese, next to soup, straight from the box at 4 p.m. This shelf leans away from plain white flour and toward crackers built from seeds, buckwheat, sweet potato and other whole ingredients. Many carry gluten-free labelling from their makers, others pack extra protein from seeds, and flavours run from simple sea salt to parmesan, chili lime and veggie garden.

A good way to shop this section is by what the cracker is for. Sturdy buckwheat and veggie crispbreads hold up under generous toppings, thin sea-salt crackers disappear politely beneath a good cheese, and seed-based crackers bring a satisfying crunch with a protein boost that suits lower-carb routines. Sweet-potato crackers in sea salt and vinegar or chili lime are the snackable pick — the kind of box that empties faster than planned.
If you're shopping gluten-free, this is one of the deeper cracker selections around — several brands here build their entire range without gluten ingredients, and the gluten-free mention on any box reflects the manufacturer's labelling under Canadian rules. Recipes can change between batches, so strict avoiders should give the label a quick re-read. Beyond that, use the filters to sort by brand, dietary tag or price, and don't be shy about trying something seedier than usual.
