Wow: here’s what McDonald’s sweet and sour sauce is made from
No, no, don’t stress; this isn’t terrifying information that will make you never want to eat sweet and sour sauce again. That may sound exaggerated anyway, but if I tell you that it can take up to 51 days to fully digest a Big Mac… Then you might think twice before ordering one.
And yet, many people are a little shocked by this information about the sweet and sour sauce. A McNugget just isn’t the same without it — but what’s actually in it?
McDonald’s sweet and sour sauce: made from fruit
McDonald’s sweet and sour sauce is made, among other things, from the pulp of one fruit — and I personally would never have guessed which one. I had never really thought about the fact that there might be fruit in it at all, but if I had to choose… I would have said mango. But no, that’s wrong.
Pineapple then? Orange? Nope. It is — may I have a drumroll, please? — apricot. Yes, really: there’s a fair amount of apricot pulp in Maccie’s sweet and sour sauce. And many fans are quite shocked by that: ‘My favorite sauce with the most disgusting fruit? How?!’ We think that’s a very strange observation (what’s wrong with apricot?), but it’s definitely a fun fact that belongs in the list of MacFacts.
