About Ketchup mayonnaise

Ketchup mayonnaise, commonly known as 'fry sauce' in some regions, is a condiment made by blending mayonnaise and ketchup, often in a 1:1 ratio, though variations exist. Originating from North America and popularized in cuisines worldwide, it is commonly used as a dip or spread for fried foods and sandwiches. Nutritionally, ketchup mayonnaise is calorie-dense due to its fat content from mayonnaise and sugar from ketchup. On average, 1 tablespoon contains approximately 90-120 calories, 8-10 grams of fat, and 1-3 grams of carbohydrates. While it provides small amounts of Vitamin E from vegetable oils and lycopene from the tomato content, it is generally considered a condiment rather than a nutrient-rich food and should be enjoyed in moderation.

Health Benefits

• Ketchup mayonnaise provides lycopene, an antioxidant found in tomatoes, which may support heart health.
• The vegetable oils in mayonnaise contribute trace amounts of Vitamin E, supporting skin and immune health.
• Contains small quantities of unsaturated fats, which can assist in the absorption of fat-soluble vitamins.
