About Gravy

Gravy is a savory sauce often made from meat drippings, combined with stock, flour or cornstarch for thickening, and seasonings. Popular in Western cuisine, gravy has roots in European cooking but is now enjoyed globally in various forms. Its flavor and texture make it a staple accompaniment for dishes like mashed potatoes, roasted meats, and biscuits. Nutritionally, gravy varies depending on preparation; homemade versions can be richer in flavor but higher in fat and sodium, while store-bought varieties may have added preservatives. Though it can be a source of iron and protein when made with nutrient-rich meat juices, it’s often high in calories and salt, making moderation key for a balanced diet. Lighter versions can be made using vegetable broth or less fat, offering a healthier alternative for those watching calorie intake while preserving its comforting qualities.
