16. Pretzels
We can all agree that pretzels are delicious, but those large salt crystals topped on them should be your first reason to concern about their high sodium content. A one-ounce serving of mouthwatering pretzels packs almost 330 milligrams of sodium or 14 percent of the RDI.
If you are not ready to eliminate pretzels from your diet, at least opt for unsalted versions. They aren’t as tasty as salty ones, but they are still a good on-the-go snack.
And just like most things made from flour, nutritionists say that it’s best to choose pretzels that are made with whole-wheat flour than pretzels made with white flour. We agree, too.
