A dollop of mayonnaise is a creamy condiment made primarily from oil, egg yolks, vinegar or lemon juice, and seasonings. Originally believed to have roots in French cuisine, mayonnaise has become a global staple, featured in dishes ranging from salads and sandwiches to various dips and sauces. Nutritionally, mayo is high in fat due to its oil-based composition, offering a rich source of calories. While it provides essential fatty acids and vitamin E, it is often calorie-dense and low in protein or fiber, making it best consumed in moderation. Some versions, like reduced-fat or avocado-based mayonnaise, provide lighter, healthier alternatives. Mayonnaise enhances flavor and texture, but frequent or excessive consumption may contribute to weight gain and increased cholesterol levels.
