About Fritos
Fritos are a popular corn-based snack originating from the United States, created in the 1930s. Made primarily from whole corn, corn oil, and salt, Fritos are fried to achieve their distinctive crunch and flavor. Recognized as a classic in Tex-Mex and American cuisine, they are often enjoyed on their own, as a topping for chili, or in dishes like Frito Pie. While Fritos are gluten-free and made from simple ingredients, their nutritional profile includes a high calorie count and significant fat and sodium levels, making them best enjoyed in moderation. They offer some carbohydrates and fiber from corn, but lack substantial protein or vitamins. Fritos are a convenient, indulgent snack option, but should be incorporated thoughtfully into a balanced diet to manage their less healthy aspects, such as saturated fat and sodium content.
