Mayonnaise is a creamy, emulsified condiment traditionally made from egg yolks, oil, vinegar or lemon juice, and a touch of seasoning. Originating in French cuisine, its versatility has made it a staple in dishes worldwide, from sandwiches and salads to sauces and dips. Nutritionally, mayonnaise is high in calories and fat due to its oil content, with most versions containing primarily unsaturated fats, which can be beneficial for heart health in moderation. However, it can quickly contribute to excessive calorie intake if not portioned carefully. Certain store-bought varieties may include added sugars, preservatives, or unhealthy trans fats, so opting for homemade or quality versions can offer a cleaner choice. Additionally, low-fat or alternative varieties are available for those seeking reduced calorie options. While not inherently unhealthy, mayonnaise should be consumed mindfully as part of a balanced diet.
