About Mayonnaise packet
Mayonnaise is a creamy condiment primarily composed of oil, egg yolks, vinegar or lemon juice, and seasonings. It originates from French cuisine, with historical roots tracing back to Mahón in Spain. Mayonnaise packets are a convenient, single-serving option often used for salads, sandwiches, or as a dip. Nutritionally, mayonnaise is rich in fats, primarily monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fats, which are essential for energy and cell structure. Per standard serving (1 packet, approximately 13 grams), mayonnaise contains around 90 calories, negligible protein, and very few carbohydrates. While it delivers vitamin E and omega-3 fatty acids due to its oil content, mayonnaise is typically high in calories and may contain saturated fats depending on the recipe or brand.
Health Benefits
- Contains vitamin E, an antioxidant that supports skin health and immune function.
- Provides monounsaturated fats from oils, which support heart health and healthy cholesterol levels.
- Delivers omega-3 fatty acids if made with certain oils, which benefit brain function and reduce inflammation.
Dietary Considerations
Selection and Storage
Store mayonnaise packets in a cool, dry place and avoid exposure to high temperatures. Refrigerate once opened and consume quickly.
