About Friet

Friet, commonly known as French fries, is a popular dish originating from Belgium, where it is considered a staple of their cuisine. Made from sliced, peeled potatoes, Friet is typically deep-fried until golden and crispy. This cooking process creates a satisfying texture, making them a favorite worldwide. Nutritionally, Friet is rich in carbohydrates, primarily from the potatoes, which can provide energy. However, the high fat content due to frying, particularly in oil, increases calorie density and may include unhealthy trans or saturated fats depending on the preparation method. Friet is often lightly salted, which adds flavor but can contribute to excessive sodium intake. Healthier options include oven-baking or air-frying to reduce oil consumption. Pairing Friet with fresh salads or lean protein can balance the nutritional profile. While indulgent, moderation is key to enjoying Friet as part of a balanced diet.
