Utz Pretzels in Pretzels

Are pretzels healthy?

Pretzels are crispy treats that satisfy cravings for crunchy, salty snacks. They come in all sorts of shapes for holidays and celebrations, but the beauty of pretzels is that they are low in fat with zero cholesterol. Peanut butter-filled pretzels can offer a bit of protein in the snack. Another good thing about eating salty pretzels is the sodium they provide. Sodium can be a beneficial electrolyte that helps a body recover when sick or after heavy exercise.

What are pretzels made from?

Pretzels are baked bits of dough which are then salted. Pretzels are made from rye, wheat, or sourdough flour, yeast, sugar, salt, and water. The dough may have added ingredients, such as mustard, sugar, chocolate, seeds, and cheeses for unique flavors.

What other foods go good with pretzels?

Try sweet honey wheat pretzels dipped in whipped cream for an amazingly delicious snack. Or dip regular pretzels in melted chocolate, honey mustard dip, or slather them with spreadable cheese. Eat pretzels as a side with sandwiches and burgers as an alternative to chips. And you can’t beat a trail mix made with mini pretzels, nuts, seeds, shredded coconut, and chocolate chips.
