About Crispy fries

Crispy fries, often referred to as French fries, are a globally popular side dish or snack originating from Belgium and France. Traditionally made by thinly slicing potatoes and deep-frying them in oil, fries are characterized by their crisp exterior and fluffy interior. Nutritionally, a typical serving of fries (about 100g) contains approximately 312 calories, 17g of fat, 41g of carbohydrates, and 3.4g of protein. They also provide small amounts of potassium, vitamin C, vitamin B6, and iron. However, they are calorie-dense and high in sodium, particularly when salted, making moderation key.

Health Benefits

• Potatoes in fries provide potassium, which supports heart health and electrolyte balance.
• Vitamin B6, found in potatoes, aids in brain development and function.
• The iron content in fries can contribute to improved oxygen transport and energy production.

Dietary Considerations

Allergens: Contains none (depends on cooking oil and seasonings used)

Suitable for: Vegetarian, vegan (if plant-based oil is used)

Not suitable for: Low-carb, low-fat, gluten-free (if cross-contamination occurs)

Selection and Storage

Store raw potatoes in a cool, dark, and well-ventilated place. Cooked fries should be refrigerated in an airtight container and consumed within 2-3 days for best quality. Reheat in an oven or air fryer to retain crispness.
