About Fry sauce
Fry Sauce is a condiment traditionally made by blending ketchup and mayonnaise, with variations including seasonings like garlic powder, paprika, or pickle juice. Originating in the United States, particularly popular in Utah and Idaho, fry sauce is a staple in American fast-food cuisine. Its nutritional profile is high in calories and fat due to its mayonnaise content, offering 90-120 calories per tablespoon, primarily from fats. It typically contains minimal protein, carbohydrates, and negligible fiber. Fry Sauce provides minor amounts of vitamin E from the vegetable oils in mayonnaise, but it is generally not regarded as a nutrient-dense food.
Health Benefits
- Vitamin E from mayonnaise supports cell health and acts as an antioxidant.
- Vitamin K in mayonnaise contributes to proper blood coagulation.
- Low amounts of lycopene from ketchup may promote heart health.
Dietary Considerations
Selection and Storage
