FUN FACTS

CONTENTS

Instead of traditional deep frying where food is submerged and cooked in

hot oil, air frying circulates heat using little or no oil.

In the US, potatoes are typically the most consumed vegetable, with

Americans eating an average of 115.6 lbs of white potatoes a year, two-thirds of which are in the form of French fries.

As you chew hot food it cools, increasing taste intensity. The taste receptors

on our tongues are most active when food is between 86°-95°F.
