About Pretzel crisps

Pretzel crisps are a thin, flat, and crispy snack that originated as a twist on traditional pretzels, with roots in European cuisine, particularly German. They are baked rather than fried and feature a salty flavor profile with fewer calories and fat compared to regular potato chips. Typically made from wheat flour, pretzel crisps contain carbohydrates but provide minimal protein and fiber. Sodium levels can be high depending on the flavoring, so portion control is recommended. Though widely enjoyed as a standalone snack, they are often paired with dips, cheeses, or spreads for added texture and flavor in Western diets.
