[PAR] [TLE] Pretzel [SEP] A pretzel (   ) (German: "Breze(l)" ) (   ) is a type of baked bread product made from dough most commonly shaped into a twisted knot.  Pretzels originated in Europe, possibly among monks in the Early Middle Ages.  The traditional pretzel shape is a distinctive nonsymmetrical form, with the ends of a long strip of dough intertwined and then twisted back into itself in a certain way ("a pretzel loop").  In the 2010s, pretzels come in a range of different shapes.  Salt is the most common seasoning for pretzels, complementing the washing soda or lye treatment that gives pretzels their traditional "skin" and flavor through the Maillard reaction; other seasonings include sugars, chocolate, glazes, seeds, or nuts.  There are several varieties of pretzels, including soft pretzels, which must be eaten shortly after preparation and hard-baked pretzels, which have a long shelf life. [PAR] [TLE] Salt [SEP] Table salt or common salt is a mineral composed primarily of sodium chloride (NaCl), a chemical compound belonging to the larger class of salts; salt in its natural form as a crystalline mineral is known as rock salt or halite.  Salt is present in vast quantities in seawater, where it is the main mineral constituent.  The open ocean has about 35 g of solids per litre, a salinity of 3.5%.
