Description

Broken pretzels are fragments of traditional pretzels, which are crunchy and savory snacks made from a dough of flour, water, salt, and yeast, that are baked and given their characteristic toasted finish. These smaller, more brittle pieces are ideal for incorporating into recipes like salads, nut mixes, or as a crunchy topping for various dishes.

The pretzel originates from Germany, dating back to the Middle Ages, and has since gained popularity in many cuisines around the world. In Hispanic American gastronomy, although there are no exact synonyms for "pretzels," they are sometimes simply called "salty sticks" or "baked savory dough snacks," though these terms are not specific. Therefore, the term "broken pretzels" is the most commonly used to refer to these fragments within the culinary context.

Among their properties, broken pretzels provide a salty and crunchy touch without a high fat content, making them a light complement to add texture and flavor to salads, dips, or snack mixes. Due to their base of flour and yeast, they contain carbohydrates that provide quick energy.
