About Marinade

Marinade is a flavorful liquid mixture used to enhance taste, tenderize, and preserve food, typically meats, fish, tofu, or vegetables. Common ingredients include acidic elements like vinegar, lemon juice, or yogurt, combined with oils, herbs, spices, and sometimes sweeteners like honey or sugar for balance. Marinades are versatile and appear in various cuisines worldwide, from Mediterranean and Asian to Latin American traditions. Their composition can vary greatly, with some emphasizing bold spices while others highlight fresh herbs. From a nutritional perspective, marinades can be a healthy way to infuse flavor without adding excess calories when made with fresh, whole ingredients. Olive oil and citrus juices, for instance, provide healthy fats and antioxidants. However, high-sodium ingredients like soy sauce or excessive sugar can pose health concerns if used in large quantities. Opting for homemade versions allows for control over salt and sugar levels, making marinades both a tasty and mindful choice.
