Calories

One serving of Creamy Jalapeno Dip has 60 calories.

Here is a summary of the estimated number of calories by macronutrient in two tablespoons of dip:

55 calories from fat
Fewer than 5 calories from total carbs
Fewer than 5 calories from protein

Nearly all of the calories are derived from fat. Specifically, the 6 grams of total fat contribute about 92% of the total calories. A nominal number of calories are derived from both carbohydrates and protein.

The summary of calories by nutrient is a rounded estimate based on the nutrition facts label provided by Frito-Lay, a PepsiCo brand.

Fat

Each serving of the dip has 6 grams of total fat. That’s approximately 10% of the FDA-recommended limit for an entire day (based on a 2,000 calorie diet).

Keep in mind, of course, that the nutrition facts are based on a measured serving weight – not by how much we eat in each meal served. So, if you eat more than two tablespoons, the amount of fat increases proportionately.

Sodium

In addition to the amount of fat in this condiment, please take note of the amount of sodium. One serving has 170 milligrams of sodium.

Again, if you eat more (or less) than two tablespoons, then you can adjust the approximate quantity of sodium accordingly.

What are These Ingredients?

Some of the ingredients used in this dip are easy to find in nearly any supermarket. Water, that’s obvious. I know where to find onions, canola oil, jalapeno peppers, or the seasoning.

But, a couple of these ingredients are a little less common. You may have never even heard of Xanthan Gum or DATEM.

When I review ingredients in packaged foods, many of the hard-to-pronounce items are used to extend shelf life, as an emulsifier, or to enhance flavors.

Here are brief explanations of a few less well-known ingredients in the Creamy Jalapeno Dip.

DATEM is primarily derived from plant sources and used as an emulsifier in baking to strengthen the gluten network in dough. The acronym stands for Diacetyl Tartaric Acid Esters of Monoglycerides.
A Lactic Acid starter is an organic acid that aids in the fermentation process and is generally used to help maintain flavor in foods.
Mono and Diglycerides are fatty acids act as surfactants and are commonly used as emulsifiers in processed food.
Monosodium Glutamate, the sodium salt of amino acid glutamic acid, occurs naturally in many foods. It’s produced by the fermentation of starch, sugar beets, sugar cane or molasses.
Xanthan Gum is a polysaccharide used in the food industry as an emulsifier, thickening agent, and stabilizer.
