About Doritoes

Doritos are a widely recognized brand of flavored tortilla chips originating from the United States, initially inspired by traditional Mexican cuisine. Launched in 1966, these chips are produced by Frito-Lay and come in various flavors. Primarily made from corn, vegetable oils, and seasonings, Doritos are high in calories, fats, and carbohydrates. A single serving (around 1 oz or 28g) contains approximately 140 calories, 2g of protein, 16g of carbs, and 8g of fats, including saturated fats. They are also a minor source of dietary fiber (1g per serving) and provide small amounts of calcium (2% of the daily recommended intake) and iron (2% DV), but they lack significant vitamins like Vitamin C or D. Due to their processed nature and high sodium content, Doritos should be enjoyed in moderation as part of a balanced diet.
