Pretzels — photo 1

Hard pretzels are twists or sticks of wheat dough dipped in an alkaline bath, sprinkled with coarse salt and baked until crisp. A 30 g portion has about 115 kcal, mostly from starch, with under 1 g of fat but about 370 mg of sodium, around 16% of the daily value. They have far less fat than potato chips but more than twice the sodium per gram. These values leave out the iron and B vitamins added to enriched US flour.
