About Chili mayo
Chili mayo is a flavorful condiment that combines mayonnaise, a creamy emulsion of oil, egg yolks, and vinegar or lemon juice, with chili peppers or chili sauce to add spiciness. Originating as a fusion ingredient often associated with global cuisines like American, Japanese, and Tex-Mex, it is widely used as a dipping sauce, spread, or topping. Nutritionally, standard chili mayo is calorie-dense due to its fat content, providing approximately 100 calories per tablespoon, mainly from fats, with trace amounts of carbohydrates and negligible protein. Spices like chili contribute small amounts of antioxidants, particularly capsaicin.
Health Benefits
- Provides a source of monounsaturated fats from the oil in mayonnaise, which may support heart health.
- Chili peppers contain capsaicin, a bioactive compound that may boost metabolism and aid in pain relief.
- Contains vitamin E from the oils used in mayonnaise, which acts as an antioxidant for skin and immune health.
Dietary Considerations
Selection and Storage
Store chili mayo in the refrigerator after opening and consume within the recommended time period indicated on the packaging to ensure safety and freshness.
