Mayonnaise

Mayonnaise is a creamy emulsion commonly used as a condiment in Western and Japanese cuisines, known for its rich texture and ability to bind salads, sandwiches and sauces. It’s frequently flavored with vinegar or lemon and sometimes with additional seasonings. Nutritionally Mayonnaise is energy-dense and high in fat, providing about 74.8g of fat per 100g; most of those fats are a mix of unsaturated and saturated fats and it also supplies vitamin K. It contains very little fiber and only small amounts of protein. From a health perspective, mayonnaise contributes valuable dietary fats (including monounsaturated fats) and some fat‑soluble nutrients, but because of its high calorie and fat content people often choose lower‑fat or oil‑based alternatives when looking to reduce energy intake.
