About Cup of gravy
A cup of gravy is a rich and savory sauce typically made from meat drippings, flour or cornstarch, and broth or milk. Gravy is a staple in various cuisines, especially in American, British, and Southern comfort food traditions, often served over mashed potatoes, biscuits, or roasts. Ingredients can vary; some recipes include added butter, cream, or seasonings for extra depth of flavor. While gravy provides a delicious way to enhance the taste of dishes, it is generally high in fat, sodium, and calories, particularly if made with heavy cream or butter. However, when prepared with lean broth and minimal added fat, it can be a lighter option. Gravy is not usually a significant source of vitamins or nutrients, but homemade versions allow for better control over ingredients. Moderation is key to enjoying this flavorful accompaniment as part of a balanced diet.
