Mayonnaise is a creamy condiment made primarily from egg yolks, oil, and an acidic ingredient like vinegar or lemon juice. Originating from French cuisine, it has become a global staple, enhancing sandwiches, salads, and dips. Rich in flavor, mayonnaise is known for its smooth texture and versatility in recipes. Nutritionally, it is high in fat, as its base is oil, but provides a source of heart-healthy unsaturated fats if made with oils such as olive or canola. However, it is calorie-dense and can contribute to weight gain if consumed in excess. Some versions include added sugars and preservatives, which may decrease nutritional value. Light or plant-based alternatives can offer lower-calorie options. Mayonnaise can be part of a balanced diet when used in moderation and paired with nutrient-dense foods. It’s a classic choice for culinary enthusiasts seeking to add richness and depth to their dishes.
