Pretzel Question

I recently bought some spelt pretzels made by Newman's Own. The ingredients are spelt flour, sunflower oil, salt, and yeast. It doesn't say whole wheat spelt flour, but in a serving of 30 grams, there are 4 grams of fiber. Is this ok or should I not buy these again? This is the first time I've bought anything made with spelt, so I'm not sure if it has to say whole wheat or not.

Oh good! I love them and would hate to have to give them up! It took me so long to find legal pretzels. Thanks Cathy!

They aren't very easy to find in my area.

Only if they are made with whole wheat flour and have 3 grams of fiber per ounce. I haven't seen any pre-packaged pretzels that are South Beach friendly.

I found the Paul Newman Spelt pretzels -- they are really good! Only place I could find was Whole Foods, so bought 3 bags.

I'll have to stock up when I go -- I get my fire roasted tomatoes there, now pretzels!

i didn't really like those 100 calorie pretzels anyway. haha i guess i just don't like pretzels, but on the ingredient list it said unbleached wheat flour. what does that mean?
