French fries have always been McDonald’s key products, and almost every customer will order a McDonald’s fries. Why are McDonald’s fries popular? What is special points about the potatoes they choose as the material of french fries production line?
Only use the highest quality potato varieties
In the McDonald’s quality manual, there are only three kinds of potatoes that can be included in the list of ingredients for French fries processing line, that is, Shapotti, Polbank and Innovator. After testing, the starch content of these three kinds of potatoes is the most moderate, which can be used as raw material for the French fries production line. The taste is full after making chips. In addition, with ellipse shape and moderate size, the bud eye on the surface is slightly shallower than ordinary potatoes. Thus, the length of the french fries after cutting is more neat without spots.
It takes four generations from potatoes seedlings to enter the French fries processing plant. Therefore, the french fries you tasted at McDonald’s restaurant started to cultivate as early as three years ago. Only after strict control of the seedling selection and breeding process can the potato retain its excellent genes, greatly reducing the risk of pests and diseases.
