Fun Fact
- Did you know that it was actually America's third president, Thomas Jefferson, who introduced French Fries to the United States? He discovered them while serving as an ambassador to France and brought the recipe home.
- To celebrate these crispy delights with gusto, the United States has dedicated July 13th as National French Fry Day. So if you are a fry enthusiast, here's another reason to savour them, in case you needed one anyway;)
Historical Fact
- The term "French Fries" might be a result of linguistic mix-ups. When American soldiers stationed in Belgium during World War I tasted these fried delights, they mistakenly thought they were in France due to the French-speaking locals. They brought the name "French Fries" back to the states. These fries originally trace their origins back to Belgium.
- The 20th century saw French Fries cementing their place in fast-food history. They became a staple menu item at the first fast-food restaurants, with McDonald's leading the charge.
Nutrition Fact
- Despite their reputation, potatoes - the main ingredient in French Fries - are a good source of vitamins and minerals. They're rich in vitamin C, potassium, and vitamin B6.
- Leaving the skin on your fries can increase their fibre content. Fibre aids digestion and helps you feel full longer.
