Pretzel Sticks

Pretzel sticks are a type of baked snack made from a simple dough of flour, water, and yeast. The dough is shaped into thin sticks, often boiled briefly in water (sometimes with added baking soda) before baking to give them a distinct chewy texture and golden-brown crust.

Pretzel sticks are primarily consumed as a snack food on their own or as a component in snack mixes. They provide a salty, crunchy element that complements other ingredients like nuts, seeds, and dried fruits. Manufacturers use them to add texture and a savory flavor profile to various snack products.

Pretzel sticks are a grain-based food and a source of carbohydrates. The FDA considers pretzels to be generally recognized as safe (GRAS) when used as intended. They are typically low in fat and protein. While not a significant source of vitamins or minerals, they do contain sodium, which is important to consider as part of a balanced diet.
