Pretzels are probably not the first snack you'd reach for if you're limiting your salt intake. Twisted baked dough covered in salt crystals doesn't exactly make for a low-sodium food—but that doesn't mean you should avoid pretzels altogether.
So, if the biggest drawback to pretzels is that they can be high in sodium, we can make that work! The FDA recommends less than 2,300 mg of sodium per day. To stay within those limits, start by reading food labels. Look for pretzel brands that contain 250 mg of sodium or less per serving, or choose products that say 'low sodium,' 'no salt added,' or 'salt-free' on the packaging.
Fit Joy's Grain Free Sea Salt Pretzels is the winner when it comes to sodium. At only 220 mg per serving , it's within the 250 mg suggestion with room to spare. That doesn't surprise me since sea salt contains less sodium per teaspoon than table salt. Sea salt crystals are larger than table salt, allowing less to fit within a teaspoon. Fit Joy's pretzels are also grain-free, making them an ideal choice for people with a gluten, nut, or dairy allergy.
Qiunn Whole Grain Sea Salt Pretzel Twists are made with whole grain sorghum, a naturally gluten-free flour. While this is great for people with celiac disease or a gluten allergy, 400 mg of sodium per serving is not. If these are your favorite gluten-free option, give yourself a smaller portion or avoid serving them with a salty dip.
