Mayonesa, commonly known as mayonnaise, is a creamy sauce made from emulsifying egg yolks, oil, and an acidic ingredient like vinegar or lemon juice. Originating from European cuisine, it is believed to have roots in French or Spanish traditions and has since become a global staple in sandwiches, salads, and dips. Nutritionally, mayonnaise is calorie-dense due to its high fat content, primarily from the oil used in its preparation. It can be a source of healthy fats if made with heart-healthy oils, but traditional versions are often rich in saturated fats and sodium. While it provides small amounts of vitamins like E and K, which are fat-soluble, its nutrient density is limited. For those seeking lighter options, low-fat or plant-based versions are available. Moderation is key when incorporating mayonnaise into meals, especially for individuals mindful of caloric intake or dietary fat limits.
