Mayonnaise, often called "mayo," is a creamy condiment made primarily from oil, egg yolks, vinegar or lemon juice, and optional seasonings. Originating from French and Spanish cuisines, it gained worldwide popularity as a versatile spread and base for dressings or dips. Its rich texture comes from emulsification, combining its ingredients into a smooth consistency. Nutritionally, mayonnaise is calorie-dense, mainly due to its high fat content, offering potential sources of healthy fats depending on the type of oil used. However, traditional mayo is also high in saturated fats, and excessive consumption can contribute to weight gain or heart health concerns. Low-fat or alternative versions, such as those made with Greek yogurt, offer fewer calories and added nutrients. Mayo should be used sparingly in a balanced diet, but its ability to enhance flavors makes it a staple in various dishes across global cuisines.
