Did you know?
- In many Spanish-speaking countries, the word galleta covers both 'cookie' and 'cracker', unlike English where the two are distinct categories based on sweetness.
- The word galleta shares an ancient root with the word for 'small cake', explaining why it covers everything from a salty cracker to a sugary treat.
- The concept of a 'graham cracker' is less common in traditional Spanish cuisine, so people often describe them as galletas integrales meaning 'whole grain cookies'.
