Light mayonnaise is a popular condiment known for its creamy texture and tangy flavor, serving as a lighter alternative to traditional mayonnaise. Typically derived from European culinary traditions, this versatile spread is made with ingredients like oil, egg yolks, vinegar or lemon juice, and water, with reduced-fat versions using modified oils or egg substitutes to lower calorie and fat content. Light mayonnaise contains about half the calories and fat of regular mayonnaise, making it a preferred choice for those seeking a healthier option in salads, sandwiches, and dips. It also provides small amounts of vitamin E and essential fatty acids. However, depending on the brand, it can include additives and stabilizers to preserve its texture and flavor. While offering reduced caloric intake, it’s still best consumed in moderation due to sodium levels in some varieties. Light mayonnaise is a simple yet versatile component of balanced eating.
