What it is
Pretzel salt is a type of coarse-grained salt, primarily composed of sodium chloride. It is typically produced by evaporating seawater or mining salt deposits, then processing it into larger, irregular crystals.
Why it's used
Manufacturers add pretzel salt to foods for its distinctive coarse texture and salty flavor. Its large crystal size helps it adhere well to the surface of baked goods like pretzels, crackers, and flatbreads, providing a satisfying crunch.
Health notes
Sodium chloride (salt) is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA. High intake of sodium is associated with increased blood pressure. JECFA has evaluated sodium chloride. The FDA Daily Value for sodium is 2,300 mg.
