Snacks are small portions of food typically eaten between main meals or as a light, quick bite. They are often convenient, portable, and easy to consume without the need for preparation or utensils. Snacks can be both savory or sweet and include items like chips, nuts, fruits, granola bars, cookies, crackers, popcorn, and yogurt. They may be packaged or homemade and are usually designed to satisfy hunger or cravings in a more casual way than a full meal.
