About Half teaspoon mayonaise
Half a teaspoon of mayonnaise typically contains about 15 calories and is composed of ingredients such as oil, egg yolks, vinegar or lemon juice, and seasonings. Originating from European cuisine, mayonnaise is believed to have roots in French or Spanish culinary traditions, where it is widely used as a sauce or dressing base. While it provides flavor and creaminess to foods, mayonnaise is high in fat, primarily from oils, making even small amounts calorie-dense. It also contains little to no protein, fiber, or significant vitamins or minerals. On the positive side, its fat content can contribute to satiety when consumed in moderation, and some variations use healthier oils, such as olive oil. Nevertheless, excessive consumption may not align with heart-healthy or weight-conscious eating plans. It’s best enjoyed sparingly as a flavorful addition to sandwiches, salads, or dips within a balanced diet.
