• May provide a source of B vitamins depending on formulation, important for energy metabolism.
• Can offer trace minerals such as iron, essential for blood health, depending on ingredients.
• Adds flavor to dishes, potentially making them more palatable and encouraging consumption of nutritious foods.
• Can be a source of sodium, an electrolyte crucial for fluid balance (consume in moderation).

Gravy mix should be stored in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and heat. An airtight container is ideal to prevent moisture absorption, which can cause clumping and spoilage. Typically, dry gravy mix can be stored at room temperature for up to 12-18 months, but always check the expiration date on the packaging. Once prepared, gravy should be refrigerated promptly and consumed within 2-3 days.
