National Pretzel Day

National Pretzel Day celebrates the popular baked snack known as pretzels. Originating in Europe, pretzels have a long history dating back to the 6th century where they were first made by monks. This food day honors the unique shape and delicious taste of pretzels, which are traditionally made from dough that is twisted into a distinct knot-like form before being baked to a golden perfection. Whether enjoyed plain, salted, or dipped in cheese or mustard, pretzels have become a beloved snack worldwide. On National Pretzel Day, many bakeries, restaurants, and snack shops offer discounts or free pretzels to customers.
