FOR THE TRUE, TRUE STORIES BEHIND THIS INCREDIBLE FOODSTUFF, READ ON.

Mayonnaise might seem like an easy food to strike from a Paleo larder: after all, no more sandwiches, right? But you should know that mayo is wonderful in recipes both warm and cool, none of which require bread-like things. And that's just plain mayo, let alone this crazy good new flavor from Primal Kitchen with a punch of chipotle and a squeeze of lime. There's not much else I can do right now other than think of amazing recipes for this mayo while drooling on my keyboard. Beware.

How about some Mexican style grilled corn (called Elote) doused in mayo before getting a sprinkle of chile and cheese. Or, those plain yet yummy deviled eggs with Chipotle Lime mayo and a sprinkle of chopped cilantro, or fresh jalapenos? What about some Green Goddess dressing thickened perfectly with the creamy touch of mayonnaise?

Conventional store mayo (even many home recipes) typically start with canola or vegetable oil, full of Omega-6 fats that many of us are a bit overloaded on already. So what is a healthy-thinking person to do? Use a better oil! That is where Primal Kitchen has stepped in to help out and make your cooking life simpler.

How does this stuff taste? Pretty freaking amazing. Light, neutral, but with the zing we love in a sandwich spread. 

This is no fake mayo intended for vegans or strange tasting "healthy" option with 8 different thickening ingredients. This is REAL food, real ingredients, really convenient. Mark Sisson and his team have blended avocado oil - yes, you can get oil out of that delicious fruit - and eggs and a few seasoning and put the tasty result in a jar for all of us. Make your own with a blender? Sure, you COULD. But here's the thing: I know how to make mayonnaise. I know how easy it is. Have I ever made it? Nope. It is the long-time crazy foodies like myself who are the perfect examples of why something like this is great - even we don't always make our own stuff. 

WHY PRIMAL KITCHEN MAYO IS SO GOOD FOR YOU

The main ingredient is avocado oil. Just how awesome is it? Avocado oil, like olive oil and hazelnut oil, contains oleic acid, a monounsaturated fat that may help to lower cholesterol.

Avocado oil contains a balanced proportion of omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids. These essential fatty acids, along with vitamin E, have powerful antioxidant properties which can protect your blood vessels. 

Avocado oil promotes faster healing and better skin quality.  Vitamin A, D and E are all involved in skin cell growth and regeneration. Chock full of oleic acid and lecithin, it’s great for the hair and skin — inside and out. Avocado oil is said to have anti-aging benefits (and it also smells great) so don’t be afraid to use it liberally, and everywhere.

Here are some of the amazing ingredients in Primal Kitchen's Mayo

Avocado Oil

Avocado oil is notable for its fat composition, phytosterols and polyhydroxelated fatty alcohols, all of which are anti-inflammatory in nature. It’s also notably high in Vitamin E and monounsaturated omega-9 fatty acids. In a recent study, both high and low doses of avocado oil enhanced alpha-carotene, beta-carotene and lutein absorption from a salad by as much as 15 times compared to a salad without avocado oil.

Egg Yolk

Egg yolks, long the red-headed stepchild of the chicken 'family', are now considered by many ancestral health devotees to be the ONLY good part of the egg - why use that lean white part when pretty much all the nutrients are in the orangey-yellow orb in the middle? Egg yolks are an amazing source of: Vitamin A, Vitamin D, Riboflavin, Vitamin B12, Phosphorous, Selenium, Folate and Pantothenic Acid. Yowza.

HOW TO USE PRIMAL MAYO

Boy, isn't it time you were able to open a jar of mayo and start spreading it on whatever the heck you want? Personally, I'd go right for a batch of deviled eggs. Then I'd made a summery cold potato salad, then probably some awesome coleslaw. Smear it on grilled corn with a dash of chili powder. If you're a friend of paleo bread, think of the next sandwich you make, or the next wrap, and more. Your possibilities are almost endless.

  1. Mexican-style grilled corn (Elote)
  2. Spicy tuna tartare
  3. Zesty deviled eggs
  4. Creamiest. Guacamole. Ever.
  5. Spinach & Artichoke dip
  6. Limey coleslaw
  7. Unconventional potato salad
  8. Steamed artichoke dip
  9. Tuna salad (Sardine salad? Yum.)
  10. Egg Salad
  11. Any creamy dressing ever.
