description Pringles Original Overview
Pringles Original is a brand of stackable potato-based crisps originally developed by Procter & Gamble and currently produced by Kellanova, formerly Kellogg's. Unlike traditional potato chips made from sliced potatoes, Pringles are formulated from a uniform dough of dehydrated potato, wheat starch, and other ingredients. This dough is pressed into the brand's signature hyperbolic paraboloid (saddle) shape before frying. The crisps are packaged in a distinctive cylindrical cardboard and foil canister to prevent breakage.
help Pringles Original FAQ
Are Pringles Original made from sliced potatoes?
No, they are formed from a dough containing dried potatoes along with starches and other ingredients. That manufacturing process creates the consistent saddle-shaped crisps that stack inside the tube.
Why are Pringles packed in a tube instead of a bag?
The rigid cylindrical can protects the uniformly shaped crisps and allows them to be stacked closely. Pringles adopted this distinctive package when the product was developed by Procter & Gamble in the United States.
Are Pringles Original gluten-free?
Standard Pringles Original are not generally labeled gluten-free and commonly contain wheat-derived ingredients. Anyone with celiac disease should check the package sold in their country because formulations and allergen statements can vary.
Who invented the shape of Pringles?
Chemist Fredric Baur helped develop the product and its tubular packaging for Procter & Gamble. The crisps' curved form is commonly described as a hyperbolic paraboloid.
