Sunny Makeover for 'Banquet on a Stick': Popular Kansas State Fair Item Utilizes Sunflower Oil

摘要

The line of customers at the familiar yellow stand was at least 10 people long, but no one was complaining about the wait. The aromas of golden-fried Pronto Pups mingled in the air with spicy mustard and the rest of the midway at the Kansas State Fair. Clearly, the traditional lunchtime menu item was as popular as ever. Few in that line realized, though, the Pronto Pups they were about to consume — a fan-favorite version of a corn dog — had a slightly healthier twist this year. Thanks to the Kansas Sunflower Commission (KSC), the National Sunflower Association and Northern Sun/ADM, each of the five Pronto Pup concession stands at the Kansas State Fair were stocked with NuSun~(R) sunflower oil for their fryers.
