I love these Glutino gluten-free pretzels. Even my gluten-eating friends and family think they have a great flavor. They are almost buttery. I once tried to get some in a natural foods store in Virginia, when I was visiting my parents. But the lady in the store told me she didn’t carry them because they didn’t have any “nutritive quality”. I was amazed at her logic. Who eats pretzels for their nutritive value?
If you are like me, then you spend your life reading ingredients and most likely eat very wholesome, nutritious food most of the time – this being a consequence of living on a gluten-free, highly controlled diet. Not only that, you might be hungry often, because you aren’t filling up on bready ingredients morning, noon and night.
Every once in a while you just want to eat something because it tastes good, it feels good and its fun! Well that’s the case with these yummy pretzels. They are a great snack and I don’t care that they are just a filler. If I want nutritive value, I’ll eat carrot sticks! Actually according to the label, there are 4 grams of protein per 24 pretzels. So there you go. That’s something.
My only complaint with this product is with their packaging. Once opened, the bag tears very easily, making it difficult to store. I often have to put it in a ziploc bag. Otherwise, they taste great and are perfectly filling.
