About One serving of gravy
Gravy is a savory sauce commonly used in various cuisines to enhance the flavor of meats, mashed potatoes, and other side dishes. Typically made from pan drippings of cooked meat, it combines flour or cornstarch as a thickener with stock, broth, or milk for added richness. Seasonings such as salt, pepper, and herbs are often included to customize its taste. While gravy adds a warm, comforting element to meals, its nutritional profile depends on the ingredients used. Traditional gravy can be high in fat, calories, and sodium due to the butter or meat drippings and added salt. However, lighter versions made with low-sodium broth and less fat offer a healthier alternative. Gravy’s history is linked to European cuisine but has been embraced globally with regional variations. It’s a flavorful addition but best enjoyed in moderation as part of a balanced diet.
