Carrot, celery, and onion mix, commonly referred to as mirepoix, is a foundational blend in many cuisines, particularly French cooking. This trio delivers a balance of sweetness, earthiness, and subtle sharpness, making it an ideal base for soups, sauces, and stews. Typically composed of two parts onion to one part each carrot and celery, this mix is low in calories, rich in vitamins, and provides dietary fiber. Carrots contribute beta-carotene and vitamin A, celery adds hydration and antioxidants, while onions offer vitamin C and sulfur compounds that may support immunity. The natural sugars in carrots and onions can slightly caramelize when sautéed, enhancing flavor without added fats or sugars. While inherently nutritious and low in fat, preparation methods can impact its health benefits—adding excess butter or oil reduces its overall healthfulness. Versatile and wholesome, this mix is a simple way to add depth and nutrients to various dishes.
