French fries and ketchup are a classic pairing celebrated worldwide. French fries, typically made from sliced potatoes, are deep-fried until golden and crispy. Originating in European cuisine, particularly Belgium and France, they have become a global comfort food. The accompanying ketchup, a tangy tomato-based sauce often sweetened with sugar or high-fructose corn syrup, adds flavor and moisture. Nutritionally, French fries are a source of carbohydrates and provide vitamin C and potassium, but they are also high in fat and calories due to frying. Ketchup offers lycopene, an antioxidant found in tomatoes, though its sugar content can be significant. While indulgent, moderation and preparation methods—like baking instead of frying or choosing unsweetened ketchup—can make this combination slightly healthier.
