Mayonnaise, commonly referred to as "maioneze" in various cultures, is a creamy condiment traditionally made from a blend of oil, egg yolks, vinegar or lemon juice, and optional seasonings like mustard or salt. Originating in French cuisine, it has become a staple worldwide, complementing salads, sandwiches, and dips. Rich in fat, mayonnaise provides energy, primarily from its high oil content, making it calorie-dense. While homemade versions can offer healthy fats depending on the oil used, store-bought varieties might contain added sugars, preservatives, and lower-quality oils. Moderation is key, as overconsumption can contribute to excess calorie intake. For healthier options, low-fat or alternative recipes are available, often replacing the oil or eggs with ingredients like yogurt or aquafaba. While it provides a creamy texture and tangy flavor, mayonnaise should be enjoyed thoughtfully as part of a balanced diet.
