“Unlocking the Secret: What McDonald’s French Fries Reveal About Fast Food That Will Leave You Speechless!”
These potatoes are Russet Ranger, Umatilla Russet, Russet Burbank, and Shepody. McDonald’s came up with their recipe all on their own, and nobody knows how they did it but it’s sure popular.
A Number Of Ingredients
French fries might seem like a pretty simple food to make. Really, all you need to make them are some potatoes and a deep fryer. However, McDonald’s didn’t get famous for doing things the boring way. Instead, they took things to a whole new level. Incredibly, their fries have a whopping 19 different ingredients that go into them.
Former Mythbuster Grant Imahara investigated precisely what went into their fries, and it’s quite shocking. It makes you wonder what else goes into other restaurants and if they have just as many ingredients.
A Massive Amount Of Potatoes
Considering the number of french fries that McDonald’s sells a day across the entire world, you might try to imagine how many potatoes are needed for such a wide-scale production. The answer is that McDonald’s has to buy over 3.4 billion pounds of potatoes each year in order to keep up with demand.
However, this number does fluctuate. Rarely does it go down but generally, it keeps going up as more locations are opened around the world.
