About Mayo packet

Mayonnaise packets contain a small portion of mayonnaise, a creamy condiment traditionally made from egg yolks, oil, vinegar or lemon juice, and often seasoning. Originating from French cuisine in the 18th century, mayonnaise has grown into a global staple, used as a base for dressings and sauces or a topping in various dishes. Nutritionally, mayonnaise is energy-dense, providing a high caloric content due to its fat composition. One packet (approximately 14g) contains about 100 calories, 11g of fat, and negligible protein or carbohydrates. It is high in unsaturated fats, which can support heart health when consumed in moderation, but is also low in vitamins and minerals, offering limited micronutrients except for a trace of vitamin E from the oil used in production.

Health Benefits

• Rich in unsaturated fats like monounsaturated fats, which can support heart health by regulating cholesterol levels.
• Contains vitamin E from the oil, an antioxidant that may protect cells from oxidative stress.
• Provides essential fatty acids such as omega-3 and omega-6 depending on the type of oil used in preparation.
