Wendy's Uses A Special French Fry Seasoning That Sets
Them Apart

Wendy's french fries are a bit different than their competitors. Unlike many other fast food juggernauts, Wendy's uses sea salt rather than table salt to season their fries.
Table salt is processed into a fine consistency, losing many naturally occurring minerals in the process. Sea salt undergoes little to no processing and maintains its minerals.
This means that sea salt has a more present flavor and boasts larger crystals that stick to french fries for an exterior crunch that gives way
to a soft and fluffy interior.
Wendy's also coats their fries in a bit of potato starch. Starch contains amylose, a chemical compound that becomes rigid when heated, making each bite ultra-crunchy and crispy.
