Industrial produce/commodity

Thank you for your notes.

To Mister Micawber,

The original passge is:

During McDonald's early years French fries were made from scratch every day. Russet Burbank potatoes were peeled, cut into shoestrings, and fried in its kitchens. As the chain expanded nationwide, in the mid-1960s, it sought to cut labour costs, reduce the number of suppliers, and ensure that its fries tasted the same at every restaurant. McDonald's began switching to frozen French fries in 1966. The change had a profound effect on the nation's agriculture and diet. A familiar food had been transformed into a highly processed industrial__.

 I checked the word "produce", with the explanation, something produced, a product; farm products. I know the phrase "farm produce" is used. what other phrases can I use the noun form of produce? Will "industry produce" sound ok?

Thank you! 

Thank you Grammar Geek. Your note is quite vivid and now I can see clearly the meaning of farm produce. And "from scratch" is new to me, I just thought it referred to the peeling action. Your note is so helpful.

I still want to know when do you use the other meaning of produce, Something produced; a product.

Looking forward to your note. Thanks again.

The noun, PRO-duce, is agricultural products: fruits, vegetables.

The verb, pro-DUCE, makes to make something.

If you make something, in common usage, you have a product, not produce. Yes, the dictionary lists "something produced" as a meaning for "produce," but it's not the common meaning.
