Gravy

Gravy is a savory sauce made from pan drippings, stock and often a thickener such as flour or roux, commonly used in Western cuisines to finish roasts, poultry and mashed potatoes. It is valued for its rich, umami flavor and ability to tie a dish together. Nutritionally, Gravy typically contributes modest protein but can be notable for its salt content—0.633g of salt per 100g is common—so portion size matters when watching sodium intake. It also contains some saturated fat from the drippings and a small amount of fiber and micronutrients. From a health perspective, gravy can add flavorful protein-rich elements to a meal, but it is best used sparingly or prepared with lower-sodium stock or plant-forward ingredients to improve its fat and sodium profile.
