Primal Kitchens is the first choice for commercially made mayonnaise. Why is that? Because most mayonnaise contains sugars and industrial seed oils. Of course, on the keto diet we are trying to eat as little sugar as possible. But what's wrong with industrial seed oils, and what are they?
Industrial seed oils are vegetable oil, corn oil, canola oil, soybean oil, safflower oil, sunflower oil, peanut oil, etc. These oils are highly inflammatory. If one of your goals is to reduce inflammation in your body, you will want to avoid these oils. They are very unstable and subject to easily being degraded by free radicals. They are also too high in omega 6 fatty acids and linoleic acid. The only fats you should eat on kept are those with linoleic acid content lower than 20%. That would mean the approved keto fats are animal fat, coconut oil, MCT oil, olive oil or avocado oil.
If you have ever looked the label of most commercial mayo, they are almost all made with soybean or canola oil. Even the ones that say they are made from olive oil aren't 100% olive oil, but also include some canola or soybean as well. So they are unacceptable.
The Primal Kitchens mayo have all clean, healthy ingredients. If I don't have time to make my own mayo from leftover bacon grease, these are the ones I buy.
They both taste great, although I think they have a little more vinegar than is my personal taste, but still good.
Later I will include a recipe made with leftover rendered bacon grease, in case you want to try that.
