A graham cracker (pronounced /ˈɡreɪ.əm/ GRAY-əm or /ˈɡræm/ GRAM in the US) is a sweet cracker made with graham flour that originated in the United States in the mid-19th century, with commercial development from about 1880, and mass production beginning in 1898 by The National Biscuit Company. It is eaten as a snack food, usually honey- or cinnamon-flavored, and is used as an ingredient in some foods, e.g., in the graham cracker crust for cheesecakes and pies.
