Description

Gluten-free pretzels are an adapted version of the traditional pretzel, a type of baked roll shaped like a loop or knot, originating from Europe, particularly popular in Germany and Austria. This snack is characterized by its crunchy texture on the outside and soft on the inside, with a slightly salty taste.

The gluten-free version is specially made for people with celiac disease or gluten sensitivity, using alternative flours such as rice flour, almond flour, corn flour, or gluten-free flour blends. This allows one to enjoy the taste and texture of a pretzel without compromising the health of those who must avoid gluten.

Regarding their properties, gluten-free pretzels are usually low in fat and a lighter option than other fried snacks, although their nutritional content varies depending on the specific ingredients used. They are a quick source of energy and an ideal complement to accompany dips, cheeses, or simply to be consumed as a healthy snack.

In different Latin American countries, pretzels may also be known as "gluten-free pretzels", "gluten-free rolls" or simply "pretzels" when referring to the traditional variant, although there is no exact synonym that changes the name in the region, given its international popularity as a specific snack.
