What food group is mayonnaise in?

Mayonnaise is a bit tricky! It doesn't fit neatly into any of the main food groups (fruits, vegetables, grains, protein, dairy).

Here's why:

* It's made from oil, eggs, and vinegar/lemon juice. While it contains some fat (from the oil) and protein (from the eggs), it's not a primary source of either.

* It's not a whole food. Mayonnaise is a processed food made from ingredients that are combined and emulsified.

It's often categorized as a condiment or sauce.

If you're looking to categorize it for nutritional purposes, you could consider it a fat source, as that's its main component.
