A pretzel is a baked bread product of European origin, believed to have roots in German cuisine. Traditionally made from wheat flour, water, and yeast, pretzels are shaped into a twisted knot and often seasoned with coarse salt. Variants may include additions like sesame seeds, poppy seeds, or sweet coatings. Pretzels are relatively low in fat and provide quick energy from carbohydrates, making them a popular snack. However, they can be high in sodium due to salt toppings, which may be a consideration for those monitoring sodium intake. Whole-grain versions offer added fiber for improved digestion. Soft pretzels are typically larger and softer, while hard pretzels are smaller and crunchy, often enjoyed as a portable snack. While they’re not a significant source of protein or vitamins, pretzels can be enjoyed in moderation as part of a balanced diet.
