October 26: Get in a Good Twist this National Pretzel Month
Nothing cures a salt craving like pretzels! This National Pretzel Month, celebrate this unique icon of American snacking by exploring new flavors. Dating back to 12th century German, pretzels offer a satisfaction that only their doughy salty combination can provide. Its trademark twist shape is said to represent the holy trinity and it was an easy recipe for home bakers because they do not require eggs or lard.

Mustard powder or even dry cheese can put a unique spin on flavor. Or consider buying exotic mustards to dip your pretzels.
