Did you know you can easily make your own mayonnaise?
Try it, you'll probably like it.
You can easily make cool whip too.

I really like my egg salad and need mayo. Do you have any replacement recommendations?

Soybean oil has been the main ingredient for probably 70 years.

They all have this in it. It isn't some big secret, it tells you right on the label.

-butter
-bread
-jelly/jams
-jerky
-pasta
-red/white sauces


The list goes on and on for what you can make at home with just a kitchen aid mixer or similar. A dedicated freezer and ability to vacuum seal goes a long way for preservation, too.

heinz briefly made mayo. it was much denser than every other mayo, as i prefer. they couldn't give it away. i watched for two years as it's shelf placement went from the top to the bottom and then they finally discontinued it.
american's prefer a light and fluffy mayo. mayo is a colloidal dispersion of a liquid in either a liquid or a solid. A stable emulsion requires an emulsifying agent to be present.

if you're gonna make a colloidal light and fluffy you're gonna have it pump it full of air and fill full of stabilizing agents, or it will separate.

i buy kewpie mayo imported from japan.

Clickbait. Calcium disodium EDTA is even approved for use in food in the EU.


Yep. And it's very poorly absorbed if taken orally and it isn't metabolized in the body.

You would need to eat a little over 4 cups of mayo (1 full jar) to get over the lowest established threshold. Then you would need to continue to eat that for multiple days.

If you are eating an entire jar of mayo every day for multiple days in a row, then you have bigger problems.

That's what in the fridge here and I just read the label. It contains the ingredient calcium disodium EDTA. I was going to use it to make a turkey melt sandwich for lunch but now I'm thinking about trying to find something else.

I know and accept I am in the minority, but I use Primal Kitchen. Didn't like the tangy flavor at first, but now I'm never going back.

I generally avoid industrial lubricants in my food as a rule of thumb

It sounds good but it's made with machine oil/canola.

Because it's GMO and...

Hexane is a petroleum-derived solvent used to extract oil from soybeans, providing high yields (up to 97%) by dissolving oil from soybean flakes. The process involves spraying hexane, heating the mixture, and separating the oil through evaporation, which is subsequently reused. While trace amounts can remain, most is removed during refining.


Cold pressed safflower oil is good to use.
