About Remoulade
Remoulade is a versatile, mayonnaise-based condiment originating in France, often used in Creole and European cuisines. Typically made with mayonnaise, mustard, fresh herbs, pickles, and seasonings, its flavor varies by region, with additions like paprika or curry powder in some recipes. While calorie-dense due to its high fat content (primarily from oil and mayonnaise), it contains small amounts of protein (3.3g per serving), carbohydrates (6.7g per serving), and minimal calcium and iron. Remoulade enhances seafood, sandwiches, and salads with its creamy, tangy profile but should be used sparingly, as it is high in calories (667 per 100g).
Health Benefits
- Provides energy due to its high-calorie content, primarily from healthy fats like monounsaturated fats in oil.
- Supports calcium intake with approximately 33.3mg per serving, contributing to bone health.
- Contains small amounts of iron (0.7mg per serving), which is essential for oxygen transport and healthy blood cells.
Dietary Considerations
Selection and Storage
Store remoulade in an airtight container in the refrigerator and consume within 3-5 days to prevent spoilage.
Common Questions About Remoulade Nutrition
Is remoulade high in protein?
Remoulade is relatively low in protein, containing only about 3.3 grams of protein per serving (100 grams). While it does provide some protein, it is primarily a fat-based condiment, so it should not be relied on as a protein source.
Can I eat remoulade on a keto diet?
Yes, remoulade can fit into a keto diet due to its high fat content (66.7 grams per 100 grams) and relatively low carbohydrate content of just 6.7 grams per serving. However, be mindful of portion sizes to avoid exceeding your carb limit.
Are there any health concerns with eating remoulade?
Remoulade is high in calories (666.7 calories per 100 grams) and fat, particularly saturated fats, which may not be ideal for heart health if consumed in excess. It also contains a notable amount of sodium (1,000 mg per serving), so individuals managing blood pressure should use it sparingly.
How much remoulade should I use per serving?
Typically, a serving size of remoulade is around 1–2 tablespoons (15–30 grams), providing approximately 100–200 calories. This amount is sufficient to add flavor without significantly increasing calorie, fat, or sodium intake.
How does remoulade compare to mayonnaise in terms of nutrition?
Remoulade is often similar to mayonnaise nutritionally, as both are high in fat and calories. However, remoulade typically includes added ingredients like mustard, pickles, or spices, which slightly increase the carbohydrate and sodium content compared to plain mayonnaise.
