When it comes to condiments, there are some that are better than others in terms of health. If you want to know what’s really in your pantry and fridge, check out this list.
Mustard
By far, mustard is the healthiest condiment you probably have in your pantry. There are almost no calories in it because basically, it’s just mustard seeds ground up with liquids like water and vinegar. Because of that, mustard can actually be pretty healthy for you, especially good quality mustard.
Hot Sauce
Another vinegar-based condiment, hot sauce is an excellent choice if you want to add flavor to your food without adding unhealthy ingredients. The only thing about hot sauce is that there is sometimes a lot of salt, but overall, you can’t go too wrong with hot sauce.
Ranch
Ranch is delicious, but definitely not a healthy ingredient to have at your cookout. Because it’s made with buttermilk, which has a lot of cholesterol and fat, you really should use it with moderation.
Mayonaise
Unfortunately, mayo is one of the most unhealthy things to have in your fridge. One tablespoon has almost 100 calories, which is really a lot when you think about how much mayo you probably use in your cooking.
