Confidence in Condiments – Vegenaise

Posted by David - 04/16/2010 - Food, Reviews - 12 Comments

Okay okay, I understand the fact that not everyone loves mayo. However, there are quite a few of us out there that insist putting it on our burgers and sandwiches.

As we all know, mayonnaise isn’t exactly the healthiest condiment to put on your burger (mustard actually is), but what are we supposed to do? Well, the other day while I was shopping at Sprouts, I decided to venture out and to try Vegenaise.

Yes. A vegetable based mayonnaise. With all of the following ingredients:

Canola Oil, Filtered Water, Apple Cider Vinegar, Brown Rice Syrup, Soy Protein, Sea Salt, Lemon Juice, and Mustard Flour.

And guess what…

IT FREAKING TASTED AMAZING!

Just like regular mayonnaise, you can’t even tell the difference. And trust me, I’m not biased. I’ve had multiple friends over to try out my famous grilled panini’s while being sure to use the veggie mayo and not a single one has noticed. Even after telling them they still admit to not being able to taste the difference.

In my opinion, that’s the epitome of health food. The health food substitute that can go undetected and still taste great earns a solid 5 stars from me every time.

However, I do recommend only buying the one with the blue cap.

One day they ran out of it at Sprouts and I decided to try the yellow cap one (reduced fat).

Poor decision. It was the vinegar based mayo. The taste was incredibly foul. Despite me being known for trying foods I don’t like until I love them (because I would hate to be known as a picky eater), I simply could not stomach it.

So go forth. Consume mayonnaise (Vegenaise) to your big American heart’s desire. Just be sure to keep an eye out for foods that you may want to venture out and try, you never know when something will blow your socks off. Also, don’t be a picky eater (you’re a total buzzkill to us adventurous types).
