About Horseradish mayo
Horseradish mayo is a creamy condiment combining the tangy heat of horseradish root with the smooth richness of mayonnaise. Originating in European cuisines, particularly Eastern Europe, horseradish has long been used as a flavor enhancer. The creamy mayo base tempers the sharpness of horseradish, making this condiment popular in sandwiches, dips, and meat dishes. Nutritionally, prepared horseradish contains vitamin C and dietary fiber, while mayonnaise typically provides fats, including omega-3 fatty acids if made with certain oils like canola or soybean oil. However, it can be calorie-dense with moderate sodium, depending on the preparation.
Health Benefits
- Contains vitamin C from horseradish, which supports immune function and skin health.
- Provides healthy fats from mayonnaise, including omega-3 fatty acids if made with fortified or specific oils.
- Horseradish contains plant compounds called glucosinolates, which may have antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties.
Dietary Considerations
Selection and Storage
Store horseradish mayo in an airtight container in the refrigerator. Consume within 1-2 weeks of preparation for optimal freshness.
