About Yum yum sauce
Yum Yum Sauce is a creamy condiment originating from Japanese hibachi cuisine, commonly served alongside grilled meats, seafood, and vegetables. It usually combines mayonnaise, tomato paste, sugar, vinegar, and various spices to achieve its savory and slightly sweet flavor profile. As a calorie-dense sauce, its nutritional content is primarily composed of fats from mayonnaise, simple carbohydrates, and sodium. While Yum Yum Sauce provides energy due to its fat content, it should be consumed in moderation due to high caloric density and relatively low micronutrient content.
Health Benefits
- Contains vitamin E from mayonnaise, which supports healthy skin and immune function.
- Provides a modest amount of omega-3 fatty acids if using mayonnaise made with enriched oils.
- Sugar in Yum Yum Sauce offers quick energy, though it should be limited to avoid excessive intake.
Dietary Considerations
