What is the best communion wafer? To find out, we asked our readers for their suggestions. Then we spoke with three folks who manage that detail for their houses of worship about their favorites. Here are the communion wafers we recommend.

Communion Wafer 101

There are three basic types of communion bread: hard (squares), soft (small bits of bread) and wafers (flat round bread). 

Also called the Eucharist, sacramental bread or host, communion wafer traditions vary from religion to religion. Here are the best bets:

We like how economical this large box—yes, 1000 pieces which are packed in sets of 100. Great for larger churches.

Best For Small Congregations

Larger sized wafers are designed to be broken into smaller pieces for congregants. Also nice: embossed cross.

Best Taste

Fresh and crispy
These bread squares are wood oven baked, which gives then a superior taste in our opinion. Good bang for the buck.

How We Pick Products To Recommend

We often turn to our readers (3 million strong!) to find products to recommend. We ask our parent readers for their favorites and consider their real-world experiences in our recommendations.

When we test a product, we always purchase it with our own monies. We do not take free samples, as we believe that compromises our independence.

We also fact check manufacturer information with our own measurements. If a maker claims a product weighs X pounds, we will weigh it to make sure. If the battery life is supposed to be six hours, we will see how it stands up in the real world.

In some cases, we will do interviews with experts in the field to get additional feedback on products.

To get hands-on time with products, we regularly meet one-on-one with gear companies and even tour manufacturing facilities. (When we do this, we pay our own travel expenses).

Why Trust Us

We’ve been rating and reviewing products for the home and families since 1994. We do extensive research, evaluating products with an eye toward quality, ease of use and affordability.

We make our living from affiliate commissions, but we always recommend what we think are the best bets for our readers (not the ones that are the most expensive). We are always looking for products that offer the best bang for the buck.

Our independence is a key reason why we have been doing this so long. As we mentioned above, when we purchase a product for hands-on testing, we do so with our own money.

Here’s another key point: we don’t take money from the brands we review. No free samples, no sponsors, no “partnerships.” Our work is 100% reader-supported!
