What it is

Pretzel twists are a type of baked snack made from a simple dough of flour, water, and yeast. The dough is shaped into twists, boiled briefly in water (sometimes with added lye for a darker color and crispier crust), and then baked until golden brown and crunchy.

Why it's used

Pretzel twists are primarily used as a snack food on their own or as a component in snack mixes. They provide a salty, crunchy texture that complements other ingredients in trail mixes, party mixes, and confectionery coatings.

Health notes

Pretzel twists are generally considered safe to eat as part of a balanced diet. They are made from common food ingredients and do not typically contain additives that require special regulatory oversight beyond standard food safety practices. While high sodium intake can be a concern for some individuals, the amount in pretzels is comparable to other salty snacks. Regulatory bodies like the FDA oversee the safety of all food ingredients.

Allergen info

Pretzel twists are made from wheat flour and therefore contain wheat, which is one of the 9 FDA major allergens. They may also contain gluten.
