Brown gravy is a savory sauce traditionally made from drippings of roasted meat, combined with flour or cornstarch as a thickener, and seasoned with salt, pepper, and other herbs or spices. Its origins are tied to classic European cuisine, where it serves as a flavorful accompaniment to meats, mashed potatoes, and vegetables. While brown gravy is rich in flavor, it often contains a fair amount of sodium and fats depending on the preparation process. Homemade versions allow for greater control over ingredients, potentially reducing unhealthy additives like excessive salt or artificial flavorings found in certain packaged varieties. It provides a small amount of protein from meat drippings but is not considered a substantial source of nutrients. Moderation is key when consuming brown gravy, as its calorie content can vary widely based on recipes and serving sizes.
