About Lite mayonnaise

Lite mayonnaise is a lower-calorie version of traditional mayonnaise, commonly used as a condiment or ingredient in various cuisines worldwide. Originating from France, mayonnaise is traditionally made from oil, egg yolks, vinegar or lemon juice, and seasonings. Lite mayonnaise reduces the fat content by substituting part of the oil with water or other low-calorie fillers. Nutritionally, lite mayonnaise typically contains fewer calories (around 35-50 calories per tablespoon, depending on the brand) and less fat compared to regular mayonnaise, while offering small amounts of sodium and negligible protein or carbohydrates. It provides minor amounts of Vitamin E and K due to the presence of vegetable oils but should be consumed in moderation as part of a balanced diet.
