Mayonnaises: Nutrition Facts and Calories

Mayonnaise is a versatile condiment made primarily from oil, egg yolk, and an acid like vinegar or lemon juice. This category includes traditional mayonnaises, as well as lighter versions, flavoured mayonnaises, and vegan alternatives. When choosing a mayonnaise, consider the nutrition information. Many mayonnaises are high in fat and salt. The NHS Eatwell Guide advises that foods high in fat, salt, and sugar should be eaten less often and in smaller amounts. Check the ingredient list for the order of ingredients. Oils are typically the main ingredient, followed by egg. For flavoured varieties, look at the ingredient list to see what gives them their flavour, such as herbs, spices, or sweeteners. The amount of salt per serving is usually declared on the front of pack labelling, and the UK's salt recommendation for adults is no more than 6g a day. Some products may offer lower fat or lower calorie options, which can be a useful choice if you are looking to reduce your intake of these nutrients.
