Health Factor
New York Soft Pretzels have 270 calories. I expected high amounts of sodium when purchasing this snack food product. It was pleasing to find out that New York Soft Pretzels are actually not that high in sodium. I would not recommend this grocery food product to men and women who are trying to cut down on their carbs. New York Soft Pretzels have minimal nutritional value beyond some protein and Iron. They have zero fat, saturated fat, Trans fat and cholesterol.

Quality
These pretzels are bigger in size than the popular Superpretzel, which is also sold in grocery stores. They can be prepared in three different ways. That adds some flexibility to such an appealing snack food product. I was able to prepare a New York Soft Pretzel easily when using a microwave. However, the results seem to be much better with conventional ovens.

If you prepare them in the microwave, they have to be eaten quickly. Otherwise, these New York Soft Pretzels will get hard and seem stale. They last much longer when taken out of a conventional oven. While I have not prepared this grocery food product in a toaster oven, it would be a good consideration compared to the microwave. Still, the New York Soft Pretzel is much more filling than similar grocery store products in its category. They come with a packet of salt, giving you the option of adding that condiment.

Price
New York Soft Pretzels are not too expensive. They usually do not cost more than $3 for a box of 6 soft pretzels. I found them on sale as a "two for one" deal. Even if New York Soft Pretzels were not on sale, they can still be purchased without spending a lot of money. This makes for a great way to have cheap snacks during the week.

Taste Test
The New York Soft Pretzel tastes great. It does not have a "processed" flavor or aftertaste that some frozen foods tend to contain. I wondered if this would occur after having the food product in a freezer and low temperature for over two weeks. However, every New York Soft Pretzel was as fresh as new each time that it was prepared. These soft pretzels taste good with or without the extra condiments like salt or mustard.

Takeaways
  • New York Soft Pretzels are cheap and do not contain any fat.
  • You do not have to eat multiple pretzels in one sitting to be satisfied.
  • If you prepare them in the microwave, they have to be eaten quickly.
