About Frites

Frites, commonly known as French fries, are a classic dish originating from Belgium, where they are a staple of the country's cuisine. Made from potatoes, they are typically cut into thin strips, fried in oil until golden and crispy, and served with a variety of dips, such as mayonnaise, ketchup, or aioli. While frites provide a source of carbohydrates and quick energy from the potatoes, their nutritional value depends on preparation methods. They are often high in calories and fat due to deep frying, making them less ideal for frequent consumption. Opting for baked versions or frying in healthier oils can be a better alternative. Frites pair well with vegetables or lean proteins to create a more balanced meal. Though not inherently unhealthy, moderation and mindful preparation play key roles in enjoying this crispy delight as part of a nutritious diet.
