3 Things to Know About Krispy Kreme
from delish.com
1. Krispy Kreme donuts are over 80 years old
Vernon Rudolph founded Krispy Kreme on July 13, 1937 in Winston-Salem, NC. Initially, Rudolph sold his donuts to grocery stores, but demand soon led him to sell direct to the customers.
2. The Original Glazed are the top sellers
While Krispey Kreme sells a lot of delicious flavors, the Original Glazed is THE best seller. The yeast goes through the company’s proprietary air-pressurized extruder and gets formed into perfect rings, which then proof for about 30 minutes. They’re fried in vegetable shortening before passing beneath a waterfall of warm sugar glaze.
3. The recipe is a Southern secret
It is believed that Krispy Kreme founder Vernon Rudolph bought the special donut recipe from a New Orleans French chef, and now it’s locked away in the company vault at the Winston-Salem plant.
