Plain Fritos

Plain Fritos are a classic American corn chip snack, made from fried cornmeal and known for their crunchy, salty bite often used on their own or as a topping for dishes like chili. They are energy-dense and high in fat, providing 33.4g of fat per 100g, with most of their calories coming from frying and refined carbohydrates. Because they are a processed, calorie-dense snack with limited fiber and few protective plant compounds, they’re best enjoyed occasionally as part of a balanced diet.
