Diabetes and mayonnaise. Diabetes-Friendly Condiments: Manage Blood Sugar with These Best Picks

What are the best diabetes-friendly condiments to manage blood sugar? Discover the carbs and fats in popular condiments and healthy alternatives to enhance your meals.

Navigating Condiments for Diabetes Management

Condiments can be a double-edged sword for those living with diabetes. While they add flavor, color, and appeal to meals, they also contain calories, carbohydrates, and fats that need to be carefully considered. Paying attention to the nutritional content of condiments is an essential part of diabetes management, as these elements can directly affect blood glucose levels.

Reading Nutrition Labels for Condiments

When it comes to managing diabetes with condiments, the Nutrition Facts label is your best friend. Focus on two key elements:

  1. Serving size: Match the serving size on the label with the amount of condiment you plan to use. Serving sizes can be surprisingly small, so be mindful of portion control.
  2. Nutrients: Examine the total grams of carbohydrates, as well as any sodium and fat content that may be relevant to your dietary needs.

If you don’t have a specific brand in mind, the website NutritionalValue.org provides a searchable database of nutritional information for various condiments.

Diabetes-Friendly Condiment Choices

While no food is strictly forbidden for those with diabetes, actively managing the amount and type of condiments consumed is crucial. Here are some diabetes-friendly condiment options to consider:

Mayonnaise

Mayonnaise has less than 1 gram of carbohydrates per tablespoon, but it is high in fat (10 grams per tablespoon). You may want to limit the amount of mayonnaise or explore alternatives, such as:

  • Raw avocado (less than 1 gram of carbs, 1.5 grams of fat per tablespoon)
  • Plain, low-fat Greek yogurt (0.4 grams of carbs, 0.2 grams of fat per 10 grams)

Mustard

Mustard varieties, from yellow to spicy brown, are generally low in carbohydrates and can add a lot of flavor without significantly impacting blood sugar levels. However, it’s important to check the specific nutritional information, as some varieties like honey mustard can have higher carb counts.

Ketchup

Ketchup can be a concern not because of the condiment itself, but because of the amount typically consumed. A tablespoon of ketchup contains just under 5 grams of carbohydrates. No-sugar-added ketchup is a great alternative, with only 1 gram of carbs per serving.

Soy Sauce

The primary concern with soy sauce is not the carbohydrates (less than 1 gram per tablespoon) but the high sodium content (879 milligrams per tablespoon, which is 38% of the daily allowance for a 2,000-calorie diet). Some people use Worcestershire sauce or Bragg Liquid Aminos as lower-sodium alternatives.

Incorporating Diabetes-Friendly Condiments

When it comes to managing diabetes, the key is to choose condiments wisely, understand their nutritional impact, and incorporate them into your meal planning in a way that supports your overall health and blood sugar control. By being mindful of carbohydrates, fats, and sodium, you can enjoy the flavors of your favorite condiments while keeping your diabetes in check.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can a person with diabetes eat mayonnaise?

Yes, a person with diabetes can eat mayonnaise. Mayonnaise has less than 1 gram of carbohydrates per tablespoon, but it is high in total fat (10 grams per tablespoon). As with any condiment, it’s important to monitor the portion size and consider alternatives like avocado or plain, low-fat Greek yogurt.

Is ketchup okay for someone with diabetes?

Yes, ketchup can be okay for someone with diabetes, but the concern may be with the amount consumed rather than the condiment itself. A tablespoon of ketchup contains just under 5 grams of carbohydrates. No-sugar-added ketchup is a great alternative, with only 1 gram of carbs per serving.

Is soy sauce diabetes-friendly?

The carbohydrate content of soy sauce is relatively low, with less than 1 gram per tablespoon. However, the main concern with soy sauce for people with diabetes is the high sodium content, with 879 milligrams per tablespoon. Some people use Worcestershire sauce or Bragg Liquid Aminos as lower-sodium alternatives.

Best Diabetes-Friendly Condiments to Manage Your Blood Sugar

Condiments enhance the flavor of any meal. They add flavor, color, juiciness, texture, and visual appeal. Whether it’s a sauce or spread, dip or dressing, pickle or preserve, condiments complement the food on the plate.

But it’s easy to forget that not all condiments are “free.” They do contain calories and carbohydrates that need to be factored into your nutritional meal planning.

Examples of those that don’t contain any carbs may include lemon or lime juice, flavored vinegar, and dill pickle relish. Yet the most common condiments do have carbs and need to be considered when meal planning.

For people with any type of diabetes, paying attention to condiments is an important part of managing a meal plan and knowing how they affect our blood glucose levels.

Condiments mostly contribute carbohydrates and fat to what you’re eating. Both of these macronutrients have a direct effect on glucose levels, either by breaking down into glucose or by slowing digestion — both of which affect your blood sugars

That’s why it’s helpful to understand how many grams of carbohydrates and fat are in any condiments eaten. For store-bought condiments, the Nutrition Facts label is a trusted source for this information.

How to read nutrition labels for condiments

When reading the Nutrition Facts label, focus on two things:

  • Serving size: Match the serving size with the amount of condiment you are putting on your plate. Serving sizes can be surprisingly small, as was pointed out in The Great Ketchup and Blood Sugar Experiment. Scott Johnson, who has lived with type 1 diabetes for more than 3 decades, was shocked to realize that the typical restaurant-sized ramekin of ketchup measures out to 4 or 5 tablespoons, translating into 25 to 30 grams of carbohydrates.
  • Nutrients: When looking at the nutrients, focus on the total grams of carbohydrate and be sure to include the appropriate amount when carb counting or tracking.

If salt and fat are also factors you keep track of, note the total grams of sodium and fat in each serving. Pay attention to how much of the fat is saturated fat.

If you don’t have a specific brand in mind but want to get a sense of the general nutritional information for a condiment, the website NutritionalValue.org has a searchable database of nutritional information presented as Nutritional Facts labels.

Unless there’s a specific diagnosed medical reason, like an allergy or gluten intolerance, no food is forbidden under current dietary guidelines.

Yet, actively managing the amount of carbohydrates and fat you eat is an important part of managing diabetes, according to the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Disease.

If you have diabetes, this means you need to choose when to eat a particular food or condiment, how much of it to eat, and whether to eat a substitute instead.

Yes, a person with diabetes can eat mayonnaise.

Mayonnaise has less than a single gram of carbohydrates per tablespoon. But with 10 grams of total fat (1.6 grams of that coming from saturated fat) it can be considered high fat. So you may want to limit the amount of mayonnaise you eat or find an alternative.

Here are a couple of alternatives to consider:

  • Raw avocado, which has just under a single gram of carbohydrates and 1.5 grams of total fat in a tablespoon
  • Plain, low fat Greek yogurt, which has 0.4 grams of carbohydrates and 0.2 grams of total fat in 10 grams

Mustard comes in a lot of varieties, from standard yellow to spicy brown. Generally, it is low in carbohydrates and adds a lot of flavor without driving blood glucose levels up.

Even so, because of the variety of ingredients that can go into mustard, it’s important to check the nutritional information for the specific mustard being used.

A tablespoon of prepared yellow mustard contains 0.6 grams of carbohydrates per serving of 10 grams, or 1 tablespoon. Dijon mustard, spicy brown mustard, and whole grain mustard all have 0 grams of carbohydrates per tablespoon. However honey mustard dressing has 3.6 to 6. 0 grams of carb in each tablespoon serving.

Yes. With ketchup, the concern might not be with the condiment itself but with the amount eaten. A tablespoon of ketchup has just under 5 grams of carbohydrates. But who eats just one tablespoon?

No-sugar-added ketchup is also available. It contains only 10 calories and 1 gram of carb per serving, which makes it a great alternative for people living with diabetes.

With soy sauce, the concern is not with carbohydrates (less than 1 gram per tablespoon) but rather sodium (salt). A single tablespoon of regular soy sauce packs in 879 milligrams of sodium. That’s 38% of the daily allowance for someone eating 2,000 calories per day.

Some people use Worcestershire sauce or Bragg Liquid Aminos as substitutes because they have 0 carbs. There are also lower sodium versions of soy sauce. But all these versions of soy sauce still contain a large amount of sodium per tablespoon.

People with diabetes, just like many people across the world, often turn to different spices to add some extra flavor or character to what they’re eating.

Spices are OK for people with diabetes. In fact, research from 2019 shows that some spices actually help lower glucose levels and improve diabetes management overall.

In a 2019 research article, the scientists state the following: “Conventional dietary methods to treat (diabetes mellitus) include the use of culinary herbs and/or spices. Spices have long been known for their antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and anti-diabetic properties. This review explores the anti-diabetic properties of commonly used spices, such as cinnamon, ginger, turmeric, and cumin, and the use of these spices for prevention and management of diabetes and associated complications.”

However, while research from 2017 notes that cinnamon and other spices have diabetes benefits, the American Diabetes Association’s Standards of Care 2022 points out there is insufficient evidence to support the routine use of herbal supplements and micronutrients in diabetes care. Research conflicts and more science is needed, the guidance states.

Much like anything consumed, the calorie and carb count of any condiment or spice remains an important factor.

The big advantage to using homemade sauces, spreads, dips, dressings, pastes, and more is that you know the ingredients and amounts that went into making them.

There are no hidden ingredients to cause surprise blood glucose spikes. And you have the opportunity to substitute ingredients that are more glucose-management-friendly.

Sometimes sauces are looked at with suspicion, especially when the ingredients aren’t known. It can be difficult to know the amount of carbohydrates (or sodium or fat) and anticipate the effect on glucose levels.

Diabetes-friendly options for recipes and homemade sauces

Homemade sauces can also open up a whole new world of flavor, especially when those sauces are based on cultural traditions and personal preferences. Here are some options for tweaking recipes that might be less impactful on your health and blood sugars:

  • Instead of a sweet barbeque sauce, try a chimichurri sauce with a base of olive oil, fresh herbs, and a bit of pepper.
  • An herb-and-nut pesto can be used in place of sugary tomato sauce from a jar.
  • Olive oil, with or without herbs, can take the place of dairy butter and bring a healthy unsaturated fat to the plate.
  • Salsa brings brightness based on fresh tomatoes, onion, chilies, lemon juice, and spices. It can be used as a dip, on a sandwich, or to add flavor to a stew.
  • You can make a vinegar pepper sauce (made of peppers steeped in vinegar).
  • Lemon and lime juices are also an alternative for people with diabetes to jazz up their recipes without adding calories or carbs.

The possibilities seem endless.

Condiments are not off-limits for people with diabetes. Yet, the same as any food or drink, they can contain calories and carbohydrates and must be factored into meal planning.

The condiments we choose can affect glucose levels, which play a big role in diabetes management. Making sure you know the nutritional information in any condiment — including carbohydrates, fat, and sodium — is key to deciding what’s best for you.

Enhancing your food’s flavors through condiments and spices is key to enjoying a healthy type 2 diabetes diet. But before you reach for the ketchup and mayo, know that some choices are a lot better for you than others. You’ll also benefit from learning how to read nutrition labels and measuring servings carefully. “Most important is portion control,” says Constance Brown-Riggs, RD, CDN, author of The African American Guide to Living Well With Diabetes. “Condiments should be used to enhance the flavor of food and not serve as the main course.” Here are the facts on the most popular condiments and spices to help you choose.

10 Surprising Foods That Have Little Impact On Blood Sugar

Ketchup for Lycopene

Ketchup is often considered one of the bad-boy condiments for people with type 2 diabetes. This may be in part because ketchup contains “hidden” sugar and salt, and also because people often use too much of it and put it on everything. But if you love ketchup, you don’t have to totally deprive yourself — just use a little self-control when pouring it. “While ketchup may contain sugar and salt, 1 tablespoon (tbsp) will not provide enough sugar or salt to be of concern,” says Brown-Riggs. And it does have a potential health perk: Ketchup contains the antioxidant lycopene, which gives fruits and vegetables their red color and may help prevent damage to the bodies’ cells. So enjoy in moderation.

93

Mustard for Low-Carb Zest

Classic yellow mustard or spice-rich stone-ground versions of this condiment are excellent additions to sandwiches and burgers. Mustard can also add zest to certain meats. It’s low in carbs and fat and usually falls into the “free” category for the person with type 2 diabetes — that is, foods that have fewer than 20 calories and fewer than 5 grams (g) of carbohydrates per serving. Just stick to one serving, or about 1 tbsp.

94

Hot Sauce for Weight Control

Another condiment on the diabetes free foods list is hot sauce, although its hard to imagine anyone eating unlimited amounts of it at any given meal. But if you have a special passion for the tongue-tingling spices of hot sauce, feel free to add a dash or two. Some research even suggests that using hot sauce can help you regulate how much you eat by controlling your appetite — a key part of managing your weight whether you have diabetes or not.

95

Salsa for Fresh Veggies

For a truly tasty condiment that jazzes up so many foods, blend fresh tomatoes, onions, garlic, hot peppers, cilantro, and a little bit of salt. And when you make your own salsa, you can add as many spices as you want. This condiment makes a great topping for grilled fish or chicken and adds zest to your favorite wraps. You can eat up to 2 tbsp before you have to start counting carbs, says Brown-Riggs.

96

Vinegar for Low-Calorie Taste

Vinegar is a condiment that’s low in calories and carbohydrates, with no salt or fat content. With the wide variety of vinegars available to you on grocery store shelves, you can experiment to find the right flavors for the meals you enjoy most. A sprinkle of balsamic vinegar on salad can make the veggies pop, and vinegar with a touch of low-sodium soy sauce is a flavorful marinade. You can also make your own flavored vinegars by infusing them with herbs and spices.

97

Low-Calorie Salad Dressing

You can find low-calorie salad dressings enhanced with almost any of your favorite spices. Add this condiment to salads and sandwiches or use it as a marinade or dipping sauce for healthy, lean proteins, such as fish or chicken — perfect for the diabetes diet. Just remember to keep portions under 2 tbsp, and read nutrition labels so you can keep track of the fat, salt, and sugar content in the salad dressings you love.

98

Cinnamon

With an aroma that might bring back memories of home-cooked pies, mulled cider, and holiday treats, cinnamon is a good alternative to sugar. Just a sprinkle of cinnamon adds great sweet and spicy flavor to foods and beverages. You’ll just have to watch the portion sizes of the foods you love that contain cinnamon — especially baked goods — when managing diabetes.

99

Horseradish for Kick

A traditional condiment served with roast beef, horseradish packs a powerful flavor punch. A serving of horseradish is about 1 tbsp and contains only 2 g of carbs. Add it to low-fat sauces or marinades for fish, beef, and chicken. When planning dishes for your diabetes diet, keep in mind that some packaged horseradish-based condiments are high in salt and others are high in fat, so read labels carefully.

Mayonnaise for Healthy Fat

Like ketchup, mayo gets a bad rap. But if you choose one made with healthy fat (such as olive oil), and make sure you stick to just one serving or less as described on the nutrition label, it can be a diabetes-friendly choice. To avoid overdoing this condiment, always measure it before you spread it.

101

Sweet Pickle Relish

At 5 g of carbohydrates per 1 tbsp serving, sweet pickle relish just barely slides into the free foods category. Still, this unique taste sensation is a classic condiment, perfect for adding to hot dogs, tuna fish sandwiches, and a host of other treats. The flavor is so good that it should be easy to stick to the serving size limit in order to include this in your diabetes menu.

Mayonnaise for type 2 diabetes: useful recipes

Doctors talk so often about the dangers of salads with the most popular dressing that the question of whether it is possible to eat mayonnaise with diabetes should not even arise. However, without this sauce, many dishes simply will not take place. How to cook mayonnaise at home, which will not yield to popular brand products in terms of taste? We are conducting a small investigation on the topic of how harmful the purchase option is, and we also offer alternative recipes for the dish.

A bit of history

“The chef hides his mistakes under the sauce,” Bernard Shaw used to say. Be that as it may, it is difficult to imagine many dishes without this exquisite touch. One of the most popular sauces in the world is mayonnaise, created by French chefs. The name of the creator of the dish has sunk into oblivion, but the legend of its origin remains. It is believed that he appeared during one of the Franco-English military conflicts.

When the soldiers of the garrison defending the city of Mahon were left with only eggs and butter, one of the inventive culinary specialists guessed to mix them. The Duke of Richelieu, who led the army, liked the new dish, and then took root and spread throughout France. The sauce is named after the town where it was invented. However, linguists believe that the word comes from the obsolete French “moyeu”, meaning yolk.

Nutritional value

Today, mayonnaise is produced in large volumes at food enterprises. The sauce, depending on its fat content, is divided into three classes:

  • high-calorie (55% and above),
  • medium-calorie (40-55%),
  • low-calorie (up to 40% fat).

Chemically, mayonnaise is a water-oil emulsion made from egg yolk, which was later replaced by soy lecithin.

Nutritional value of classic Provence sauce

Calories 624 kcal
Proteins 3.1 g 90 032
fats 67 g
carbohydrates 2.6 g
GI 60
XE 0.26 and glycemia index, we can say that eating mayonnaise with type 2 diabetes is safe. True occasionally, in small quantities and in combination with certain types of products. However, for those who strive to lose weight, the sauce should not be consumed. In addition, the mass of chemical additives that make up the finished product makes it harmful even for a healthy person.

Let’s take a closer look at the composition of an industrial product. The main component of mayonnaise is fat, its content is from 30 to 67 percent.

Unfortunately, mayonnaise contains not only healthy oil, but also trans fats.

The body does not absorb these modified substances, and they are deposited in the vessels, forming plaques that impede blood flow. It should be noted that mayonnaise is twice as fat as sour cream.

Emulsifiers are needed to give the finished sauce a stable consistency. Soy lecithin is used as this component. Given the fact that this type of legume today is represented mainly by genetically modified varieties, one has to doubt their usefulness.

Preservatives and flavor enhancers are used to give the product the necessary consumer properties.

The former are carcinogens, the latter cause food addiction. In addition, to reduce the fat content of the product, mayonnaise includes milk concentrates, gelatin, pectin, starch.

Another question that a diabetic cannot help worrying about is whether there is cholesterol in mayonnaise. Its content in one teaspoon is only 5 mg. I must say that this indicator is not so terrible. In addition, the cholesterol contained in the eggs is compensated by the lecithin present there. Vegetable oil helps to remove bad cholesterol along with bile. Homemade sauce has similar properties, which contains only vegetable oil, eggs and spices.

You can’t say the same about the finished product, it often contains palm oil instead of vegetable oil, and chicken yolk has not been put there for a long time.

Of course, mayonnaise is not capable of raising sugar levels, unless the salad with which it is seasoned consists of fast carbohydrates. But the chemical components negatively affect the already destroyed liver, pancreas and kidneys. Consumption of foods containing preservatives increases the risk of complications, exacerbating the course of the disease.

Recipes for SD

Since this sauce is very popular and is used in many dishes, many housewives find it difficult to find a replacement for it. But there are options for mayonnaise recipes for diabetics. Of course, this composition is no less fat than the purchased one, but it is made from high-quality components.

What you need to prepare:

  • egg yolk 2 pcs,
  • mustard ½ tsp,
  • oil 1 liter. st,
  • lemon juice 2 tsp,

The yolks are mixed with the dry ingredients, then the liquid ingredients are added gradually, while the mixture is thoroughly beaten. Salt and add sweetener to taste.

Eating during fasting or a vegetarian diet involves avoiding animal products. But you can make the sauce without adding eggs. A light analogue of mayonnaise is distinguished by a fruity note that apples give it. Half a glass of oil will require a couple of sour fruits, one spoonful of (tea) mustard and apple cider vinegar. Salt is taken to taste, as well as a sweetener.

Peeled, finely grated apples are mixed with vinegar and mustard, then whisked while slowly adding oil.
If you make the sauce at home, you can eliminate the oil as the main source of calories. For a dietary dish, you will need low-fat cottage cheese, which is diluted with water and whipped to get the right consistency. Boiled yolk, a spoonful of mustard or horseradish are added to 100 g of mass, salt to taste. Seasoned with herbs and flavored with dry garlic.

Mayonnaise-like sauce is made from low-fat sour cream (250 ml), vegetable oil (80 ml), mustard, lemon juice (1 tsp), apple cider vinegar (1 tsp). Spices are also used. You will need turmeric, pepper, salt. Honey softens the taste of the dish, which will take quite a bit, about three-quarters of a teaspoon. First, sour cream is combined with vinegar and juice, then whipped, gradually adding oil. In the middle of the process, spices are added.

This homemade mayonnaise may be used in combination with vegetables or legumes, fish or meat. In this case, it is necessary to take into account the total calorie intake of the daily diet. The finished product is stored for a couple of days, only chilled.

Homemade mayonnaise for diabetics without carbohydrates

In the Soviet years, Provencal, known to everyone, was the standard of balanced taste. All because he was preparing according to strict GOST. Although the composition was already very different from the historical one. Instead of fresh eggs, the manufacturer used egg powder, as well as milk powder, sugar and water. But the only preservative for the dressing from the USSR was vinegar, so it could only be stored for a few days.

Here are the classics of the ingredients:

● Sunflower or olive oil – can reduce cholesterol levels in the blood. Improves digestion and normalizes metabolism, supports immunity.
● Chicken or quail yolk – Contains choline, a nutrient that helps regulate brain, nervous and cardiovascular function. Contains vitamins A, E and vitamins of group B.
● Citric acid – removes dangerous toxic substances from the body, including salts and slags. In addition, it improves immunity and increases the amount of calcium in the body.
● Mustard – speeds up metabolism, strengthens the immune system, improves the functioning of the cardiovascular system, normalizes blood pressure, helps in the fight against excess weight.

Homemade mayonnaise with yolks

Homemade mayonnaise is like nothing else like a regular sauce.

“The chef hides his mistakes under the sauce,” Bernard Shaw liked to say. Homemade mayonnaise is undoubtedly in great demand. And oddly enough, we all also hide our mistakes under it.

Diabetes and mayonnaise

Terrible disease diabetes , but this is not a sentence. If you eat right and follow a lifestyle, then life can be extended for many years. And even from allowed products you can cook yummy.

Mayonnaise belongs to the category of oils, fats and practically does not contain carbohydrates, for example, a tablespoon of mayonnaise has 11 g of fat 103 calories, but no protein. Therefore, mayonnaise will not be able to significantly increase the level of sugar. However, those foods that are often consumed with this sauce (potatoes, sandwiches, and others) can significantly affect blood glucose levels.

Based on the indicators of carbohydrate content and glycemia index, we can say that eating mayonnaise with type 2 diabetes is possible without any fear, provided that the mayonnaise is natural! DO occasionally, in small quantities and in combination with certain types of products . Yes! Such conditions for the use of mayonnaise. Olive Oil Mayonnaise is the best choice for diabetics.

Not recommended for homemade mayonnaise extra virgin olive oil . Such a tasty and natural sauce is useful for a diabetic to dress all kinds of salads or other dishes, and you can “lighten” the calorie content of the sauce by adding low-fat yogurt or sour cream to it.

If the prepared sauce is half diluted with low-fat sour cream or low-fat yogurt , then its energy value will be halved (from seven hundred to three hundred calories), and it is quite suitable for overweight diabetics .

If you want to lighten the mayonnaise-like sauce a little, you can add apple cider vinegar or balsamic vinegar to the recipe.

Homemade mayonnaise for diabetics contains only the yolk of a raw egg, since

Raw egg white contains avidin, which prevents the absorption of biotin (vitamin B7). And biotin, in turn, helps with diabetes to reduce blood sugar levels.

In addition, biotin improves metabolism, regulates body weight, relieves fatigue, bad mood and digestive problems…

Another very surprising fact is that the “lighter” mayonnaise is, the more harmful it is.

Therefore, every diabetic needs to remember as Our Father – store-bought mayonnaise in diabetes is strictly prohibited !

Diabetic restrictions involve the preparation of the maximum dietary sauce , therefore, recipes and products must be selected appropriately, calculating the approximate calorie content of the future product and its GI. It’s boring, but vital!

The main secret of successful mayonnaise

is that all the ingredients are at approximately the same temperature (either warm or cold). But if you need thick mayonnaise, you need to use cold products – from the refrigerator. It’s somewhere around 12-14 degrees. Mayonnaise is thicker due to the fact that the oil in the chilled state mixes better with the rest of the products.

Homemade mayonnaise for everyone and for diabetics

© Homemade mayonnaise for diabetics without carbohydrates>

What you need

High narrow container (from a blender or jar to size). Many use an 800 gram jar.

Glass container for the finished product

Old cookbooks describe what mayonnaise could originally be made from:
2 raw yolks – 2 g carbohydrates
Mustard 1 teaspoon (homemade without sugar) – carbohydrates 1. 2 g
Lemon juice or wine vinegar (allowed for diabetics) 1 dessert spoon 90 311 – carbohydrates 0, 69 g or 0.3 g
Salt 0.5 tsp – no carbohydrates

So, for the entire volume of cooked mayonnaise, approximately 5-6 grams of carbohydrates are obtained. If you put only a tablespoon of mayonnaise without a slide in a salad, then you will get carbohydrates 0.5 g.

Preparation

Take the mayonnaise out of the container and stir it only with silicone spatula . A spoon or a wooden spatula, in contact with the walls of the container, involuntarily creates micro-impacts and as a result, micro-cracks appear.

First of all, beat the eggs into a tall container, then add mustard, sweetener (NOT fructose) and salt, after which lemon juice is squeezed into the same place.

Then, using an immersion blender, mix everything for a couple of seconds without lifting the blender from the bottom of the container, and then you need to pour in the oil, slowly working the blender up and down. With the course of whipping, the density of mayonnaise will increase to the state of thick sour cream.

Store in a refrigerator with a tightly closed lid for up to 3 days.

The nutritional value of purchased mayonnaise is over the top

Today, the sauce, depending on its fat content, is divided into three classes:

  • high-calorie (55% and more),
  • medium calorie (40-55%),
  • low calorie (up to 40% fat).

Lean mayonnaise with green pea liquid (aquafaba)

Vegetarian mayonnaise is an excellent and healthy sauce

Aquafaba is the name given to the decoction left after the legumes have been boiled. It can be beans, chickpeas (chickpeas, mutton peas), peas.

Aquafaba blends perfectly into vegetable meringue ie meringue without eggs. Whipping occurs due to the fact that aquafaba is a solution of water with proteins, that is, a protein liquid.

Products

Liquid from peas (aquafaba) how much from the can 1 teaspoon of salt
sweetener – stevia to taste
1 teaspoon mustard (preferably homemade)
1 tablespoon lemon juice

If you like a spicier taste, add vinegar instead of lemon juice.

Cooking

IMPORTANT! In order for these two liquids to combine into mayonnaise, the temperature of aquafaba and oil must be the same !!!

Add salt and a sweetener (not fructose) to the liquid from the peas to taste

Now beat it all with a whisk (better from a blender) until fluffy foam

Then slowly, in a thin stream, pour the vegetable oil into the foam

Continue whisking

Add mustard and lemon juice to the whipped mass

And finally mix everything (until whipping)

Put the finished mayonnaise in a glass dish and serve with a sprig of greens or ground nuts.

This mayonnaise can be given more original flavors

Add garlic, crushed tomatoes, finely chopped cucumbers, capers or sweet peppers

Dream up! All in your hands!

Mayonnaise sour cream

Excellent dressing – sour cream. For vegetable salads, you can’t imagine better.

If you add a little mustard and soy sauce to sour cream, the taste is very “mayonnaise”, so this dressing can be used in New Year’s Olivier for diabetics.

What you need

3 tablespoons of sour cream
1 heaping teaspoon of homemade mustard
a little soy sauce
a pinch of turmeric or a little saffron to give the mayonnaise a yellow tint

A bit of history

I don’t know the exact name of the creator of mayonnaise, but the legend of origin remains. It is believed that he appeared during one of the Franco-English military conflicts.

When the soldiers of the garrison defending the city of Mahon were left with only eggs and butter, one of the cooks thought to mix them. The new dish was liked by the Duke of Richelieu, who led the army, and then took root and spread throughout France. The sauce was named after the town of Mahon. However, linguists believe that the word comes from the obsolete French “moyeu”, meaning yolk.

Mayonnaise Provence. In the 19th century, we called Provence the same mayonnaise, which was made from a mixture of egg yolks, oil, vinegar and mustard.
