How it differs from similar foods

The sourdough starter also contributes to a different kind of crispness when bitten into, setting them apart from the uniformly crisp texture of regular pretzels.

How to keep the rest
To maintain their crispness, store any remaining pretzel nuggets in an airtight container at room temperature. Avoid exposing them to moisture or humidity, as this can make them soft and less enjoyable. Properly sealed, they can be kept for an extended period.
