Snyder's Of Hanover Mini Pretzels, Organic, 8 Ounce

Love these pretzels and so happy they finally made in organic. Cannot find in stores. No longer available online. Hope will continue to produce.

My husband and I are not really pretzel fans. We will eat them but they’re not really our “go-to” snacks. Still, these sounded intriguing so I thought I’d try them. I am very glad I did. They’re delicious. Not too salty (they almost taste home-made) and without that funky after-taste some pretzels leave in my mouth. The ingredients are typical: flour, water, malt, salt, canola oil, sugar, yeast, and soda. The big difference of course is that they are all organic and non-GMO. For me that’s a definite plus. Through in the no cholesterol and no-fat and you have a winner as far as I am concerned. So a healthy snack. But what really makes this a great snack (in my opinion) is the taste. These pretzels are delicious. They are not too salty and they taste—wholesome is perhaps the best word to describe it. They have texture and they have a definite taste (they’re not the least bit bland). And my husband and I just wolfed them down. Before we knew it, the whole bag was gone. They’re that good. So I recommend them. They’re really delicious and they’re definitely way healthier than the stuff you normally get. We’re not pretzel eaters but I plan to buy more.

Wow, I had forgotten how scrumptious pretzels are. I can’t remember the last time I had one – it’s been years, and for no particular reason. I tend more to popcorn and chips. These were very fresh and tasty. I made the mistake of opening the package at work, and so I had to offer to share. I was surrounded by reaching hands. Everyone commented on how fresh they tasted and how they liked the texture. Did anyone discern any difference from the USDA Organic, non-GMO variety? Nope. Everyone said they taste the same. But if non-organic bothered you before, now you have no excuse. The package lists a serving size as 20 pretzels, containing 110 calories and zero fat. I probably ate 10, not 20. and was happy and satisfied. So they seem like a fairly innocent and pleasing snack.

To be fair, I have to say that I am not a big fan of bagged crunchy pretzels. After you have had large soft bakery made pretzels anything else pales in comparison. That being said, these seem about the same as any other bagged pretzels. Snyder's makes good products and I was expecting something a little more tasty and interesting, so wanted to give them a try. If you like a crunchy, bagged pretzel, these are as good as any and probably better than some. They don't seem overly salty, which is a plus in my mind. A big plus is the "organic" designation, so if that's important to you and you like this kind of pretzel, I would suggest buying these instead of any that are not designated as organic, as they MIGHT be a little healthier. I can't think of any reason why you wouldn't like these and they are a nice small size for easy snacking. Bag didn't seem to have any broken pieces, so quality control must be good on these.

So my mom is watching my daughter summer days while I work. I dropped the bag of these off with my daughter, figuring they could snack on them and I'd try them after work. My daughter's cousin was over as well. Unfortunately, I can't comment on the taste. You see, the whole bag was empty by the time I was off work. I was greeted with pleas to buy more of these and and a bag that just had a few crumbs in the bottom. (I tasted the crumbs. They were good.) The kids loved them. The grandparents loved them. I probably would have loved them too - if they had saved me any. Totally organic and non-GMO which is a huge selling point for me. And apparently a great taste, which is the selling point for the kids. I'm going to buy some so that I can taste them next!

If you want to eat more organic foods, these organic mini-pretzels are a great snack. They taste deliciously salty and crunchy. What else to love about them: * lowfat - actually no-fat at 0% * even better no sugar at less than 1g - you should have no more than 50g of added sugar a day says the WHO * zero cholesterol * about 5 calories per mini-pretzel or 110 calories for 20 - so good for diet * organic wheat flour, organic malt, organic canola oil, and organic yeast * made with non-GMO ingredients The ONLY drawback to these I see is one serving is 13% of your sodium, but that's 20 pretzels. I think I could be happy with 10 pretzels a day - or 50 calories and only 6.5% of your sodium. Will research to see if they make a low-sodium, organic mini-pretzel. That might be popular. If you don't eat a lot of processed foods, and don't use much salt, it's probably not an issue for you. These are a non-guilty, delicious snack!

I'm a big fan of the snyder's pretzels, so why not try the organic? I can tell you there is a slight difference in taste between the regular & organic. My girlfriend & I tried both repeatedly, side by side. The overall consensus is that there's a slight aftertaste in the organic that I don't notice in the regular. Now, this doesn't mean I'm bothered by this aftertaste, just that it's there. It was hard to place exactly where it was coming from, but it seems that it's the yeast or possibly the flour. To me, the taste is more like the after taste of homemade pretzels or some cases fresh bread / bagels. So my guess is that something in the other pretzels normally masks the wholesome flavors that come through in natural bread / pretzel making. That being said, these pretzels are delicious & recommended for those that are looking for less artificial ingredients in their diets. For the hardcore Snyder's fan, these are only a subtle change to the expected flavor you already love. All & all, I'd buy these again for sure.

Tasty, with a nice crunch and good malt flavor, the Snyder's organic minis are a great way to get your munchies on and support the organic cause. USDA Organic means no GMO ingredients, either. The salt flavor at first seems like it isn't that strong, but as you eat a few more, the balance of flavors and salt are really very nice, not overwhelming. These are very tasty pretzels! Buying organic means you are supporting a vast movement of people who want to stop altering the soils with increasingly stronger fertilizers and poisons to control growth and repel pests. It costs a little more because it is always more labor intensive to grow organic food. That's a great thing, you pay a little more, save a little more of the environment, and get some money to workers. Eat! Enjoy! Buy Organic! These are great pretzels!
