About Frito
Fritos are a classic corn-based snack originating in the United States, dating back to the 1930s. Made from simple ingredients—primarily whole corn, corn oil, and salt—they are a popular choice for those seeking a crunchy and salty treat. Fritos are part of the Tex-Mex culinary tradition and often used in dishes like Frito pie or as a topping for chili. While Fritos are gluten-free and minimally processed, they are high in calories, fat, and sodium, making them a less healthy option if consumed in excess. They contain no artificial flavors or preservatives, which can appeal to those looking for more natural snack choices. However, their lack of fiber, protein, or essential vitamins means they should be eaten in moderation as part of a balanced diet. Fritos offer a nostalgic and satisfying crunch but should be paired with more nutrient-dense foods for a well-rounded snack or meal.
