Pretzels are a popular baked snack originating from Germany, traditionally made from wheat flour, water, yeast, and salt. Their signature twisted shape and glossy exterior come from boiling the dough briefly in an alkaline solution before baking. Available in soft or crunchy varieties, pretzels are often seasoned with coarse salt but can also feature sweet or savory toppings. Nutritionally, pretzels are low in fat and cholesterol, making them a lighter snack option. However, they are typically high in refined carbohydrates and sodium, which may not suit individuals with specific dietary concerns such as high blood pressure or gluten intolerance. Some pretzels made with whole grain flour can offer added fiber, promoting better digestion. Pretzels are versatile and enjoyed globally as a standalone snack or paired with dips like mustard or cheese sauce. Moderation is key to incorporating them into a balanced diet.
