Port City Pretzels have less salt but all the flavor
Theyâre neither fat and doughy and bursting-at-the-seams, nor are they hard and stick-like

Port City Pretzels are prim and proper as pretzels go. Theyâre neither fat and doughy and bursting-at-the-seams, nor are they hard and stick-like. The standout bestseller is the Tasty Ranch Dill, with its pronounced buttermilk taste enhanced with garlic, dill, and parsley. Thereâs a soft crunch to them, all the while maintaining a signature pretzel taste.
Port City Pretzels are lower in salt content than many typical brands; 18 Tasty Ranch pretzels (they are smallish) contain 320 mg of sodium, about 15 percent of the recommended daily dose. There are now three additional flavors. The most recent, Tangy Mustard âN Honey, begs to go with a deli sandwich, and you can hold the mustard on that. Thereâs the Cinnamon Sugar, a sweet desert pretzel, if you will, and the loud and peppery (cayenne) Feisty Hot. All come in 4-, 8-, and 16-ounce sizes, priced from about $2.99 to $6.99. They are well-suited for Zoom snacking as they hide loud crunch sounds and donât leave you dry-mouthed, although the Feisty Hot ones may require you to cool your palate.
