White gravy is a creamy, savory sauce commonly associated with Southern American cuisine. Made from a base of pan drippings, typically from fried meats like sausage or bacon, it is thickened with flour and often enriched with milk or heavy cream. Seasoned with salt, black pepper, and occasionally herbs or spices, this comfort food staple is frequently served over biscuits, fried chicken, or mashed potatoes. Nutritionally, white gravy is calorie-dense due to its fat content and use of dairy, which provides richness but also contributes to saturated fat. While it may offer small amounts of protein from meat drippings and calcium from milk, it is generally considered an indulgent option rather than a health-conscious choice. Moderation is key when enjoying this iconic Southern topping, as its hearty flavor and satisfying texture make it a nostalgic favorite despite its less-than-light profile.
