The month of July calls for many celebrations around a firepit, with one of them being the National Graham Crackers Day on July 5. The extremely renowned crackers make for great s’mores, pie bases, and crispy crumb coating for your fried foodstuff. Graham crackers were originally invented as a healthy alternative to eating other foods that were thought to cause epilepsy, tuberculosis, and a range of other illnesses. The recipe for the crackers included graham flour, brans, and grains. The crackers were on the blander side with the slightest hints of sweetness. Soon, people realized that the somewhat bland taste of the crackers made for a great addition to pie, cake, and frying recipes.
