Mayonnaise is a creamy condiment made primarily from oil, egg yolks, vinegar or lemon juice, and seasonings. Originating from French cuisine, it has become a staple in kitchens worldwide, used in sandwiches, salads, dips, and sauces. The high oil content makes mayonnaise calorie-dense, with around 90 calories per tablespoon, mostly from fat. While it contains healthy unsaturated fats depending on the type of oil used, it is also high in saturated fat. Variations, such as low-fat or olive oil-based mayonnaise, are available for those seeking healthier options. It provides small amounts of vitamin E, a nutrient beneficial for skin and immune health. However, it should be consumed in moderation due to its caloric density and occasional high sodium content in store-bought varieties. Homemade mayonnaise allows greater control over ingredients for individuals with dietary restrictions or preferences.
