Nutrition Facts For 1 Cup of Mayonnaise
Real mayonnaise is a creamy, emulsified condiment made primarily from oil, egg yolks, and an acid, such as vinegar or lemon juice. Its characteristic tangy flavor and smooth, rich texture come from the careful balance of these ingredients and the process of emulsification, where the oil droplets are suspended in the aqueous (water-based) ingredients. The quality of the ingredients, particularly the type of oil used, significantly impacts the final flavor and consistency of the mayonnaise. Real mayonnaise should have a slightly yellow hue and a thick, glossy appearance.
Unlike some commercially produced alternatives, real mayonnaise contains no added sugars or artificial flavors. Its simple ingredient list contributes to its clean, classic taste, making it a versatile addition to a wide range of dishes. From sandwiches and salads to dips and sauces, real mayonnaise adds a creamy richness and subtle tang that complements many flavors. Its emulsified nature also makes it useful in binding ingredients together, creating a cohesive and palatable texture in various recipes.
