Salzbrezeln, or salted pretzels, are a popular snack originating from German cuisine. Famous for their distinct knotted shape, these baked goods are made from a simple dough consisting of wheat flour, water, yeast, and salt. Before baking, they are traditionally dipped in a lye solution, which gives them their glossy crust and signature flavor. The surface is then sprinkled with coarse salt for an added savory touch. While Salzbrezeln are enjoyed for their crunchy texture and satisfying saltiness, they’re primarily a source of refined carbohydrates and sodium, which can be excessive depending on portion size. They’re relatively low in fat and protein, making them less filling compared to other snacks. Enjoying Salzbrezeln in moderation alongside nutrient-rich foods can mitigate their high sodium content while still embracing their cultural significance as a beloved treat in Bavarian and German traditions.
