Pretzels???
 

I have really been missing pretzels. Do you know if there are any ww pretzels or any other type that are Ok to eat for us SBD chicks??

I've been looking too. I think the salt would do me in though!

Kyemom: Sigh, I love pretzels dipped in a ranch or french onion..but I haven't found one yet that meets the SBD guide lines... I have tried the sour dough ones..but although they say sourdough they were chock full of partially hydrogenized this, and enriched that... and since bready things are a trigger for me , I found I couldnt control my portion size when I did try them.

I don't know if you mean the little crunchy kind, or the big, poofy kind, and I don't know what the ingredients are, but...I know I've seen whole wheat and sourdough pretzels in the crunchy kind at least. I think they were both by Snyder's of Hanover - or at least the sourdough ones are. Here's their website - maybe they'll have ingredient and nutritional info. If not, you could call or write. http://www.snydersofhanover.com/

Naturally, they would be ph2 at the soonest.

I used to buy ww ones when we lived up in N. VA at Trader Joes and they were great. I sure do miss that shop :(... They were very good.

Can we have these?

(Seriously though..they sound AOK 2 Me...DETAILS WOMAN! What's the brand name on these???)

I found them on the internet when I did a search for whole wheat pretzels. They are called Uncle Henry's PA Dutch Pretzels...Don't know if it is ok to put this or not...but it is www.unclehenry.com I think I will try them out.

Schatzi! :lol3:

Thanks, Kye...those sound perfect! <happy sigh> PA Dutch pretzels are great!

I also found that Auntie Anne's pretzels now makes a Whole Wheat version. Of course, you shouldn't have them dipped in butter... :rolleyes: but I felt the need to test that just in case it might cause someone trouble. I did fine. :devil: They are tasty...and just fine with plain mustard, I think! :T

oooowwwww yummmmm!!!

Google "whole grain pretzels" and lots of suggestions come up. Don't see why they wouldn't be okay as a grain substituion.

ok-let me just tell you my little trick I use to get through these cravings. I have tried some really nasty whole wheat tortillas and then found some that were made with the basic ingredients of WW flour, salt, water-no preservatives, etc.
ANYWAY.........I spray one of those with canola spray and sprinkle on a litle garlic powder and put in under the broiler until crispy. I cut it into little cracker-size pieces and eat like crackers with tuna on top. This has really helped me get over not having crackers, pretzels, etc.
Good luck.

thanks!! I will try this
