Some french fries
have a few unusual marks on them. These marks, which are best described as
small black spots on the french fry, are something that fast food lovers around
the world have become accustomed to; but if you're trying to cut back on your
sugar intake, you may be surprised to know that those black spots on fries are
pockets of sugar.
The reason for
these spots appearing on your delicious deep fried snack is because if french
fries are stored in a refrigerator, part of the starch on the potato turns into
sugar. When the fries are being cooked, the high temperatures cause the sugar
on the outside to cook before the inside is fully cooked, which leaves black
marks on the fries.
To get rid of
these spots, all you have to do is let your fries sit in water that is 90
degrees Celsius for a few minutes! This process will cause the sugar on the fry
to spread out evenly and your snack will become an even color.
