About Spicy mayonnaise

Spicy mayonnaise is a flavorful condiment widely used in cuisines such as Japanese, Korean, and American fusion. Made by combining mayonnaise with ingredients like chili sauce, sriracha, or cayenne pepper, it adds a creamy and piquant element to dishes like sushi, burgers, and fries. Traditional mayonnaise is rich in fats from oil and egg yolks, and the spicy additions provide capsaicin, which may enhance metabolism. A tablespoon of spicy mayonnaise typically contains about 90-100 calories, 10 grams of fat, and trace amounts of vitamins like vitamin E from the oils and vitamin K from the egg yolk. However, it is not a significant source of protein, fiber, or micronutrients and should be consumed in moderation as part of a balanced diet.

Health Benefits

• Rich in healthy fats, particularly monounsaturated fats from oils, which support heart health.
• Capsaicin from chili-based ingredients may help boost metabolism and promote fat oxidation.
• Contains small amounts of Vitamin E, an antioxidant that protects cells from oxidative damage.

Dietary Considerations

Allergens: Contains eggs, soy (if soy-based oils are used), mustard (if included)

Not suitable for: Vegan diets, egg-free diets, low-fat diets

Selection and Storage

Store spicy mayonnaise in an airtight container in the refrigerator and consume within 1-2 weeks. Avoid leaving it at room temperature for extended periods to prevent spoilage.
