About Gravy, brown, dry
Brown gravy is a savory, meaty-tasting sauce poured over roasts, mashed potatoes and similar comfort foods. This entry is the dry mix — a concentrated powder of starch, flavorings and seasonings — which is whisked into water or stock and heated to make the finished sauce.
The figure of about 367 calories per 100 grams is for the dry powder; once it is made up with liquid, the prepared gravy is far more dilute and quite low in calories. The main thing to watch is sodium, which dry gravy mixes carry a lot of. The convenience is the trade-off: a fast, consistent gravy without making one from pan drippings.
Prepared gravy is the finishing touch on a roast dinner, poured over potatoes, meat and stuffing. Homemade gravy from real drippings will always taste richer, but a good mix is a quick, reliable stand-in.
