Pretzels are made of four core ingredients: wheat flour, salt, yeast and baking soda. Each of these ingredients is vegan, so unless butter or another dairy product is added, the answer to the question “are pretzels vegan?” is a resounding, “yes!”.
Pretzels, whether hard or soft, make a versatile and delicious vegan snack option. Vegan pretzels are great on their own for a quick snack or paired with hummus for vegan-friendly protein.
Healthy Pretzel - Better-for-you Snacking
Our pretzel nuggets are crunchy miniature sourdough loaves. Sourdough, unlike other doughs, is made by fermenting flour and water (rather than adding yeast) to create a leaven. This process helps to unlock important nutrients in the dough, including B12, iron, fiber, and protein. Sourdough is one of the healthy carbs that you can feel good about enjoying in your vegan pretzels!
Healthy pretzels should also be made without artificial ingredients, MSG and major allergens. OMG! Pretzels fit that bill, plus our culinary-inspired seasoning blends are nonGMO. Find out more about what is and isn’t inside our bags of vegan pretzels.
