Bavarian pretzel is a traditional German baked bread product, characterised by its distinctive knotted shape and deep-brown, chewy crust formed by dipping the dough in a lye or baking soda solution before baking. It is a staple of Bavarian cuisine, commonly served alongside beer, mustard, or cold cuts, and is widely found at bakeries, beer gardens, and markets across Germany and beyond. Per 100 g, a Bavarian pretzel provides 340 kcal, 9.5 g of protein, 3.5 g of fat, 67 g of carbohydrates, and 2.5 g of dietary fibre. It is notably high in sodium at 1,900 mg per 100 g, largely due to the salt crystals on the surface and the alkaline bath used in production, and also contains 130 mg of potassium and 25 mg of calcium. Suitable for vegan, vegetarian, pescatarian, and dairy-free dietary patterns.
