Eggplant spread with mayonnaise is a creamy and flavorful dish originating from Eastern European and Mediterranean cuisines, where eggplants are a dietary staple. The base of the spread is roasted or grilled eggplant, which imparts a smoky, rich taste while offering fiber, vitamins like B6 and potassium, along with antioxidants that promote heart health. Mayonnaise adds a smooth texture and tangy flavor but also increases the calorie and fat content due to its oil and egg-based composition. This spread often includes garlic, lemon juice, or olive oil for added depth and nutrients. While the eggplant is a nutrient-rich vegetable, consuming this dish in moderation is recommended if you’re mindful of fat intake. Commonly enjoyed as a dip or sandwich filler, it pairs well with fresh vegetables or whole-grain bread, making it a versatile addition to meals.
