Having seen a jar in the store with the inscription “molonaise” on it, I couldn’t help but be curious and read, what is it? Moreover, I really respect the manufacturer Korovka from Korenovka. And I consider their products to be the highest quality that exist on the dairy market today. The composition was simply amazing! I wanted to try it, but the price for a jar was 78 rubles - a little expensive. I’ll put off the purchase until later, I thought. And I saw that the same molonaise was standing next to it in the usual mayonnaise packaging, only for 37 rubles. Naturally, 37 rubles is a much more reasonable price than 78. Moreover, you yourself don’t know what you’re getting. Essentially a pig in a poke.
When I got home, I’ll be honest, I couldn’t resist and tried it straight from the package. I really liked the taste! I fried several pieces of meat and made sandwiches.
It was just a union! The combination with meat is great! I'm sure it will go great with salads too! Unfortunately, it’s just not the season right now, there are no vegetables - it’s winter after all..
The taste is sour cream and mustard. But for some reason it reminds me of the taste of cottage cheese! Those that are sold in jars and spread on bread, sometimes with herbs and pickles. But for me, in terms of composition, consistency, and ease of use, molonaise has become a leader!
Ingredients: (amazing):
normalized cream using a yogurt starter based on a thermophilic yogurt culture, salt, sugar, mustard.
As we see, everything ingenious is simple! Nothing extra! Cream, salt, sugar and mustard! Incomparable! I'm just delighted!
Expiration date is 21 days from the production date!
I ASK THOSE GIRLS WHO WILL WRITE REVIEWS FOR THIS NEW PRODUCT, DO NOT INCLUDE THE SHELF LIFE IN THE DISADVANTAGES. THIS IS AT LEAST NOT FAIR! OTHERWISE THE MANUFACTURER THOUGHTS THAT PEOPLE ARE COMPLAINING AND WILL ADD YOU PRESERVATIVES AND STABILIZERS AS YOU LOVE.
P.S. MILK ALSO STORE FOR 3 DAYS, BECAUSE FEW PEOPLE DRINK THOSE THAT STAND ON THE SHELVES FOR HALF A YEAR))
From the moment the package is opened, store no more than 12 hours! Yes, it’s not enough, but believe me, it won’t last long. It will fly away once or twice.
For those interested, a little about me:
I haven't eaten mayonnaise for several years. Sometimes I feel like it, but I can only afford one pea for bread. I always replace mayonnaise with thermostatic yogurt, and in principle I have long been accustomed to a healthy diet. But my household is not ready to give up mayonnaise. And they eat liters of it. I always watch with bated breath. After all, in my understanding, mayonnaise is poison and pure fat. I am incredibly grateful to the manufacturer cow from Korenovka for taking care of those people who cannot live without mayonnaise, and even making it so healthy and tasty!!! Now I can watch without fear as my husband squeezes out half a package of dumplings!
Among the “disadvantages”, if you can call it that, I can only point out the fact that the manufacturing date is stamped very finely on the side of the packaging. Moreover, I could not find it on my own. I had to call a dairy department consultant and look closely under the lamp for a long time. So I am a person with 100% vision, but what if a person has vision problems? I would like this to be corrected, of course. And molonaise is perfect)))
You may not particularly like mayonnaise or try not to eat mayonnaise, replacing it in salads with sour cream or natural yogurt with fresh herbs, but one day this moment comes. The one when you realize that all you need now are dumplings with mayonnaise. Or a sandwich with mayonnaise sauce. Or the Olivier salad drowning in mayonnaise...
“Tasty and disgusting” is how many could describe this product. For every second person, at a certain period, mayonnaise becomes a guilty pleasure, from the awareness of the wrongness of its consumption, emotions in the process become even more vivid. Let's figure out who is to blame for this and what to do.
The benefits and harms of mayonnaise
Let’s immediately make a reservation that when discussing the dangers of mayonnaise for health and figure, we do not take into account homemade mayonnaise. Simply because, with all its fat content and excessiveness, it will still be healthier than store-bought mayonnaise in bags or - for the most desperate - in buckets. However, in any of the mayonnaises, even the most natural or, if you prefer, organic, there are trans fats - modified vegetable fats that are not broken down in the body, and for this reason accumulate in it more quickly in the form of a fatty layer.
As for mayonnaise from the supermarket, the main danger in it is additives - stabilizers, thickeners, sweeteners, and sometimes. First of all, all this affects the digestive system, causing both minor disorders and serious diseases of the gastrointestinal tract. And in addition, with the regular consumption of numerous E-supplements, you seriously increase your chances of developing cardiovascular diseases, liver and kidney diseases, as well as certain types of cancer. Simply put, if you are able to do without mayonnaise, it is better to exclude it from your diet as soon as possible.
The theory of disgust (which doesn't work)
Interestingly, mayonnaise itself should evoke disgust in the average person rather than a thirst for tasting. Just think: in front of you is a white viscous liquid with a strange odor, which does not have a distinct taste and gives off a yellowish color. Doesn't sound too appetizing, does it? To explain this eating behavior, Paul Rozin, a psychology professor at the University of Pennsylvania, coined the term “safe masochism.” Rozin attributed this phenomenon to people’s addiction to objectively unpleasant tastes, such as vinegar or mayonnaise.
"The viscosity of mayonnaise is reminiscent of the liquid that might leak out of a rotten carcass that someone pierced with a stick," Paul Rozin tells Popular Science. “Aversion to food and in general tends to coincide with our aversion to bodily fluids, so in this case it works.” However, the results of large-scale studies show that only 20% of people cannot stand mayonnaise, while everyone else treats the product either calmly or with adoration.
The secret of popularity
Mayonnaise is popular all over the world, including Asian countries where we very rarely suspect it. And there is one obvious reason why this happens - humidity. By adding mayonnaise to dry or yesterday's milk, we help the saliva in the mouth to work more efficiently. But mayonnaise, of course, is not the only sauce capable of this. Mustard (especially if it’s table grade) and not the hottest horseradish will act in a similar way. Ultimately, you can even turn to ketchup, and ideally, homemade tomato sauce.
Or perhaps it’s all a matter of banal habit. That is, when we buy a smoked curia sandwich on the way to work, we not only hope that there will be mayonnaise sauce, but we are absolutely sure of it. So the changes here must be global. That is, for the situation to improve, restaurants, coffee shops and fast food chains around the world must take a course. This is, fortunately, what is happening now.

Svetlana: | October 24th, 2016 | 3:28 pm
What makes you think that the mayonnaise in the store does not meet the standards? It is also made from yolks, mustard and butter. With the exception of some manufacturers, whose names we will not mention here. So all the harm lies in the uncontrolled absorption of this product. I want to say that tomatoes are very good for the heart and are extremely important for the intestines, but if you eat 5 kilos at a time, there can be very sad consequences. So what does it mean that tomatoes are dangerous to health? Of course not!!! Everything is useful in moderation!!! And in the same way we can say about olive oil, which is also very healthy, if you shove it into everything and drink it, citing its very great benefits, then you can also disrupt the metabolism in the body. I count people who shout at every step: “Don’t eat mayonnaise, it’s harmful!” - simply not understanding anything at all about mayonnaise, or the preparation technology, or the composition. And why doesn't anyone talk about its role in the absorption of fat-soluble vitamins from vegetables? Without it (or oil), not a single vegetable will be absorbed by your body. Good health to everyone.
Answer: Svetlana, thanks for the comment!
Dina: | August 6th, 2015 | 7:19 am
I didn’t understand just one thing - what’s wrong with using homemade mayonnaise for baking?
Answer: Dina, mayonnaise is definitely a cold sauce, not for baking. And homemade mayonnaise, when baked, can simply separate into the components that you mixed so carefully, and you get white flakes.
Marina: | July 22nd, 2015 | 9:08 am
Store-bought mayonnaise uses cheap oil - trans fats.
This is why mayonnaise is harmful.
but at home if you make it with good extra virgin olive oil everything will be fine.
This is my opinion and the opinion of many nutritionists.
Everyone chooses for themselves what to feed their favorite organism :)
Irina: | March 27th, 2015 | 2:07 pm
My husband is against store-bought mayonnaise. We haven’t bought it for five or even six years now... I make my own mayonnaise for salads. A minute or two and you're done. It is not the consumption of mayonnaise that leads to excess weight, but poor nutrition and overeating, as well as a sedentary lifestyle.

To the author of the article. for your information: the battles are being waged against an industrial product that does not even contain the same composition that you described in the article. and also against the industrial use of this product, including children's menus.
By the way, the article is so-so. not substantiated at all. It's not clear what you wanted to say. You had to sign “Your Captain Obvious.” Mayo have very weak defenders.

Great article about mayonnaise. I always had an extremely positive attitude towards him. But I make my own, and very often with olive oil.
Olli: | May 13th, 2012 | 8:19 am
Thank you very much, Nadezhda. Dashenka, where can I find the link to the forum?
Answer: Vera, I wrote to you by email about this issue.
Hope: | April 26th, 2012 | 10:50 am
Hello Dasha! I want to convey this answer to Olli. Very instructive for all of us.
This is an article from the Internet.
Step to the temple of “Angel at Meal or Bon Appetit”
Angel at your meal or bon appetit
“I heard that Orthodox Christians do not sit down at the table without reading a prayer and making the sign of the cross over what is on the table. It’s strange, because magical rituals are not in honor among Christians. Why is this an exception to the rule?”
Children love to chat while eating, and lunch sometimes drags on for hours; while talking, the child manages to unnoticed swallow one spoon of soup, the second, gapes, and you once into his open mouth... You made it. These children do not have the skills to eat lunch properly. You didn’t instill these skills in them, because you managed quite well without them yourself. But let us remember Seraphim Vyritsky: “How often we get sick because we don’t pray at meals.” We want our children not to get sick, but we are in no hurry to teach them Christian rules at the table: pray, read the Lord’s Prayer, sit piously at the table, do not allow them to jump up, talk loudly, or be capricious. And if reading the lives of saints is an unattainable feat for us, then just talk quietly and a little. The main thing is the meal... The Lord blesses. The Lord is watching.
Not far from Constantinople, a holy hermit lived in deep silence. Everyone revered him, and many visited him in order to gain spiritual benefit from it. And then one day, dressed as a simple warrior, the Roman emperor came to the elder. The elder was delighted with his guest, brought a wooden cup of water, put dry bread there and, after praying, invited the guest to a meal. After the meal, the guest revealed to the elder his high position. And he said: “So I was born a king and now I reign, but I have never eaten bread or drunk water with such pleasure as I now ate and drank from you. How sweet your food is to me!” And the elder answered him: “We, monks, take our food with prayer and blessing, that is why our food, although bad, is sweet. But in your houses they drink and eat without prayer, with noise and idle talk, and that is why your rich and luxurious meals are tasteless - they lack the delightful blessing of the Lord.”
Or as often happens. At the height of Lent there is a feast. And with vodka and pickled pickles. “Is it my fault that my birthday is on Lent?” Probably guilty. Since the Lord has designated this particular day for you as special. But that's another question. People eat and laugh, drink and amuse themselves with table jokes, dance and eat again... they leave with full bellies, having overeaten delicacies and having tasted their hearts out. But there is no joy. Neither the hosts, left alone with empty bottles and dirty plates, nor the guests. As in that student song: “Even though it looks like fun, it’s still not fun...” But you can get around the sharp corners of a holiday that arrives at the wrong time. Celebrate the day quietly and piously, go to church in the morning, and sit at home at the table in the evening. And let’s move the “big folk festival” to another, quick day. Then there will be more benefit from such gatherings, and the meal will be blessed by the Lord, according to the will of God, and not in spite of it, it will turn out to be fun and desirable, and the pie will succeed, will not burn, and the meat will be fried. And most importantly, everything will be beneficial, that’s certain, that’s a must.
The Lord, establishing His laws in our lives, advocates, first of all, that we be healthy, spiritually prosperous and grateful. There is no harm from his laws, but the benefits are colossal. So why is it that even something as small as prayer before meals is so difficult for us and is so reluctantly accepted by us? “The enemy does not like joy.” The enemy of the human race is very saddened by our piety; it is like vomit to him. So he whispers all sorts of rubbish into our dangling ears - don’t believe it, don’t waste time on prayer. Food is food, you’ve eaten and gone, and he’ll tell you a vulgar joke during the meal, and he’ll tell you to get the child kicked out - I won’t, I don’t want to, I don’t like it, eat it yourself. The barrier from the enemy is prayer. He runs away from her, disgraced; she is a great power, but so unclaimed by us. Why? The question is rhetorical. When people eat food, we tell them: bon appetit. The Orthodox have adopted another expression: Angel at the meal. There is more beauty and spiritual meaning in this expression. We call upon the Guardian Angel to stand at the meal as our protector from demonic attacks and a conductor of God’s blessing. These words - the Angel at the meal - are almost a prayer. Angela at mealtime. And where there is an Angel, there is no place for the demon. And since the Angel of the Lord is called to our table, without a doubt, the food will be for good. And since there will be food for good, our children will be strengthened from it and will grow in size and prudence. But healthy and sensible children – isn’t this happiness for us? What more could you want from life?
– Angela at the meal! - we say to those who eat food.
- Save you, Lord! – we answer with gratitude.
And this is also a prayer. Because we don’t demand, but we ask.
Answer: Nadezhda, we have gone very far from the topic of mayonnaise :) But this is my fault too. One of these days I will establish a forum specifically for communication and discussion of such issues.
Olli: | April 13th, 2012 | 3:35 dp
Not entirely on topic, but... Recently I heard a wish that really touched me: “An angel to you at your meal!”
Anastasia: | April 8th, 2012 | 2:55 pm
The mayonnaise sold in stores is really not mayonnaise. In addition, store-bought mayonnaise uses preservatives and emulsifiers that are dangerous for children, but, unfortunately, neither Ukrainian nor Russian legislation has laws regulating the use of such substances in the food industry. You have to remember the list E that you should not eat, and carefully read the ingredients if the manufacturer still honestly indicates the ingredients(

Hello. I once heard that you need to use quail eggs in mayonnaise, because quails are not carriers of salmonella. also a myth? Or is there still some truth in this?
Answer: As far as I know, Salmonella is carried by infected birds. Eggs can also be infected through them. Goose and duck eggs very often contain Salomonella, so they are not sold in regular stores. But chicken and quail are susceptible to this scourge to a much lesser extent. Actually, the risk of running into salmonella when buying eggs from a poultry farm in a store is almost equal to the chances of winning a jackpot in the lottery. But if you buy untested eggs “from hand” or in markets, then the chances, alas, are much higher. Quail eggs can also be equally contaminated.
Svetlana: | April 1st, 2012 | 6:08 pm
Thank you very much Olli and Dasha for your competent and complete discussion about mayonnaise. This topic has been bothering me for a long time. Another myth for Dasha: mayonnaise is very harmful to the liver. I have heard this phrase since childhood, but no one gives a specific and qualified explanation. It’s always been hard for me to hear people say “salt is harmful,” “sugar is poison,” and much more. Maybe I have not yet “grown up” to such understandings about food - what is possible and what is not :)
Since I am a believer, I decided to find at least some protection of my interests in the Bible. Here's what I found.
Col.2:16 Let no one therefore judge you in regard to food or drink,
1 Corinthians 10:30 If I receive [food] with thanksgiving, why should I be blamed for that for which I give thanks? 31 So whether you eat or drink or whatever you do, do it all to the glory of God
1 Timothy 4:4-5 For every creation of God is good, and nothing is condemnable if it is received with thanksgiving, 5 because it is sanctified by the word of God and prayer.
Rom.14:3 If anyone eats, do not despise him who does not eat; and whoever does not eat, do not condemn the one who eats, because God has accepted him.
Rom.14:6 He who discerns the days discerns them for the Lord; and he who does not discern the days does not discern for the Lord. Whoever eats eats for the Lord, for he gives thanks to God; and whoever does not eat does not eat for the Lord, and thanks God.
As you can see, if I eat food with thanksgiving (that is, in prayer before eating I thank God for the food that I will eat and ask Him to bless this food, then how can it be harmful. With these words I in no way condemn those who does not eat. On the contrary, I accept them as they are. The only thing I would like is for those who eat mayonnaise to be accepted as they are :)
Girls, thank you again for raising this topic and explaining everything in detail.
Sorry if I touched anyone's personal interests or beliefs
Answer: thank you, Svetlana! A very interesting approach to the issue, I enjoyed reading it. I have always liked the tradition of prayer before meals, especially when a large family gathers around the table. It is difficult to imagine discord and disputes at a meal preceded by prayer. But this no longer has anything to do with issues of cooking in general and mayonnaise in particular :)
Olli: | March 28th, 2012 | 6:02 am
Dashenka, you gave a wonderful title to your article. And when I think about mayonnaise, I remember a quote from my dearly beloved film: “...salt is white poison, sugar is sweet poison... Bread is generally poison...”. In terms of the dissimilarity of opinions, the heat of the discussions, the number of insults and tactlessness, the debate about mayonnaise has perhaps surpassed even the notorious battles over jeans. Younger people are unlikely to remember, but people my age are unlikely to forget the time when for some jeans were a measure and indicator of personal success and well-being, and for others a symbol of philistinism and lack of spirituality. And for some reason it never occurred to either one or the other that jeans were just pants. “Trousers” – as my sarcastic husband put it. Time has put everything in its place. I think the same thing will happen with mayonnaise. In the end, if historians do not lie, it was invented during the siege of Mayon, and this was, if I am not mistaken, in the 17th century and until the 21st century, people ate mayonnaise for themselves and did not bother with thoughts about its harm or benefit. And then someone let the genie out of the bottle and the excellent sauce, invented by the brilliant (yes, brilliant) Frenchman in a difficult moment, when there was nothing at hand except eggs and butter, became the basis for battles worse than Mayonnaise. You are absolutely right in pointing out, Dasha, that mayonnaise is surrounded by an incredible number of myths. People generally love myths, willingly create them and religiously believe in them. In some popular science book, I read about an extremely curious fact: did you know that the fly (common fly) for 400 (FOUR HUNDRED) years was excluded from the class of insects, because, either at 11 or In the 12th century, some scientific luminary wrote that a fly has eight legs. And the fable went for a walk around the world. From textbook to textbook, from book to book, people who fish flies out of soup almost every day and, of course, counted their legs more than once, rewrote the story about 8 legs. How did a scientific authority write?
There are a lot of such myths in cooking, but mayonnaise is ahead of the rest. Let me make a reservation right away: I’m talking about real mayonnaise - either homemade or made exactly according to GOST. Whether or not to eat something with emulsifiers, stabilizers and flavor enhancers is a personal matter for everyone. With some embarrassment, I admit that I don’t particularly think about the harm or benefits of store-bought mayonnaise and, if I don’t have homemade one on hand, I’ll calmly use store-bought mayonnaise. To justify myself, I will say that I will still get acquainted with the composition of the product before buying it (a special warning for diabetics: while recently getting acquainted with the composition of diabetic jam, I was surprised to find sugar, and the fat content of the cottage cheese, positioned by the manufacturer as low-calorie, exceeded 7 percent) .
Every now and then, indignant cries of opponents of mayonnaise, whether store-bought or homemade, are heard about the blatant fact that raw eggs are used in the manufacture of mayonnaise. This is true. Salmonellosis has not been canceled, but... Have you heard of at least one case of salmonella infection when using mayonnaise? Me not. Why, then, are there not the same heated debates about meringue cream or the famous Caesar salad dressing? They say that the author of this dressing advised dipping a raw egg into boiling water for a few seconds as a preventive measure. I’m not sure that this will radically solve the problem, but why not. But what about those who like soft-boiled eggs and fried eggs? Why is no one screaming about the danger they are putting themselves in? What about botulism? So let's give up canned food. Salmonellosis is a reality that is difficult to ignore and, of course, all the products you use should be fresh and, as far as possible, tested, but this applies to cooking in general, and not just to the production of mayonnaise. Caution, within reasonable limits, is a necessary thing, and neatness, adherence to sanitation and hygiene are absolutely mandatory, but when all this turns into mania, this is already a neurosis.
Now about heating the mayonnaise. Not with embarrassment, but with shame (remember Dumas: “the gentlemen musketeers are embarrassed and full of remorse”) I admit: I will quite calmly grease the chicken with mayonnaise or put it in the dough (as you absolutely rightly noted Dasha, mayonnaise behaves absolutely wonderful in the dough) . But, ladies, please explain to me, just please with reasoning, why you can put eggs, sugar, salt and butter in the dough sequentially, but if you first beat it all and mix it with flour in this form, does it become deadly? In the comments to the post, someone used the phrase “chemistry of emulsion heating.” Sounds nice. It seems that the author knows what he is writing about, but then why not reveal to us, the uneducated, the secrets of this chemistry, otherwise just one phrase without explanation brings back memories of the topic of the dissertation: “Transportation of a liquid substance using finely dispersed systems.” I translate from scientific into Russian: “How to properly carry water in a sieve.” I am a chemist by education, but I received this education a long time ago, so perhaps new terms and concepts have already appeared in modern science, but I would like to know. Believe me, there is no malice or joke in my words. I really would like to know. But let’s leave my dark chemical past alone, I will express my philistine assumption: when mayonnaise is heated, part of the oil is released in a free form (and we observe the notorious separation), and the eggs, still associated with part of the oil, coagulate and show us so frightening everyone's cereal. If you continue to heat the egg, it will completely curl. That's all chemistry, or rather physics. I have never yet met a person who, before baking meat, puts a layer of mayonnaise on it with a layer of two fingers, but when lubricating, the oil released saturates the prepared dish, making it at the same time more tender and high in calories, and therefore more harmful (but this is everyone’s free choice, not is not it?). Eggs and sugar give the meat a beautiful, shiny crust, and mustard and vinegar give it some spice and a special aroma. And why, explain to me, you can marinate meat in oil, vinegar, or mustard, but you can’t put it all together?
And finally, the last thing. Girls, I think you shouldn’t link a person’s culture or lack of culture with the degree of his love for mayonnaise, because in this case we can only talk about a not very demanding taste. I, too, am offended and outraged when a delicious dish with a delicate aroma that I have prepared is covered with a generous layer of mayonnaise, but if it tastes better to a person, well, let him...
I repeat all of the above only MY opinion. I make no claims to its correctness or exclusivity. I will be grateful to anyone who can refute it with reasoning and evidence (but emotions are not suitable as evidence), because it is quite possible that I am ruining my health and that of my loved ones without knowing it.
But so far, when entering into disputes around mayonnaise, many participants in the discussion (I do not mean this site), it seems to me, are more eager to emphasize their refined taste and pretentiousness than to establish the truth, and this again painfully reminds me of the denim wars, when some showed their material level, while others have high spirituality and (yes, yes, don’t laugh!) patriotism. Some are no longer there, and those are far away, but everyone wears jeans because it’s comfortable.
Answer: Dear Olli!
I also don’t understand the reasons for the mass demonization of mayonnaise. But I guess that they lie in the sphere of psychology and even ideology. Apparently, many people associate this sauce with the Soviet past, monotony and poverty. That is why the younger generation so zealously disavows its use.
If the matter was limited to this, then everything would be fine. But for some reason the “opponents” of mayonnaise are declaring a crusade against those who use it. Even special communities and websites are created in order to mock housewives who add mayonnaise to their dishes. This is what I don't understand. Is there no other problem left in the world to persecute mayonnaise lovers? It has always been outrageous when people consider themselves entitled not only to look into other people's wallets, houses, family relationships and plates, but also to judge people by what they see there. It is especially upsetting that, as you write, emphasizing one’s own taste and pretentiousness occurs at the expense of humiliating others, rather than demonstrating one’s own merits.
I don’t bake it with mayonnaise myself – I just don’t like it. But if at a party they serve me meat in French, I won’t faint and I won’t teach my hostess how to live. I will also be glad if someone explains to me with reason why and how harmful mayonnaise is.
Rina: | March 27th, 2012 | 11:13 am
Thank you very much for the informative article. I have an off-topic question, I just don’t know where to ask it, so I’m writing here. Do you have any articles about household appliances, they are very helpful in the kitchen. I want to buy some kind of food processor or something like that, including something to make mayonnaise. I love baking and I would like to somehow make my work easier, for example, that a machine would mix the ingredients, and at that time I could do something else or observe (if necessary)
Answer: Rina, I highly recommend a slow cooker. Those who use it praise it and are very satisfied. Since I personally don’t have one, I’m a bad adviser here. But I can tell you in secret that from April 2, the LiveJournal community of the site will have a separate five-day seminar dedicated to the multicooker: selection, functions, settings and little tricks. The seminar will be free, so you can watch and decide whether this unit is suitable for you or not. And mayonnaise is made using a mixer in five minutes (you can make half a liter bucket at a time), you don’t even need to buy a separate processor.
Tanechka: | March 26th, 2012 | 11:50 am
and at that time I had just mastered its home production (with lemon, olive oil, mustard, eggs...) and did not want to agree without a fight that a set of such individually useful products could be harmful...
Together we found two “weak points”:
1) if mayonnaise is prepared from homemade (untested!!!) eggs, then there is a risk of salmonellosis
2) and, perhaps most importantly.
From a liter of vegetable oil you get about a liter of mayonnaise.
But rarely will anyone eat vegetable oil with spoons, spreading it on bread, yes
I even pour a spoonful of vegetable oil into the salad, BUT 3-4!!! spoons of mayonnaise.
that is, mayonnaise is terrible because it is delicious! And that’s why you eat much more of it than just the growth. oil with the same lemon...
Well, I didn’t argue with this argument.
A bottle of vegetable oil (for salads) lasts in my family for 2-3 weeks, and a bucket of homemade mayonnaise from the same bottle lasts for several days.
Answer: I completely agree with the first argument - you need to carefully choose products. And I admit the second one for those people who want to lose weight or keep themselves in a certain shape. Yes, it tastes better with mayonnaise, and if you overuse it, then, alas, the result will be visible to the naked eye.
Veronica: | March 26th, 2012 | 11:39 am
Dasha, thanks for the interesting article!
I have long wanted to start making mayonnaise myself, especially since my food processor even has devices for this, but I never got around to it. Now I'll definitely start!
Answer: Get started - it's very simple!
Qsu: | March 26th, 2012 | 10:13 am
>What exactly dangerous chemical reactions (grinding yolks? pouring oil? heating flour?) the opponents of mayonnaise mean remains a mystery.
Most likely, opponents of mayonnaise mean the irresistible passion of housewives to bake mayonnaise, i.e. pour it into the dish before putting it in the oven.
Answer: then this has nothing to do with mayonnaise - it’s not his fault that someone comes up with the idea of baking or freezing it. If you mock the sauce like this, it will separate and, alas, will cease to be mayonnaise. Even carrots can become harmful if they are not prepared correctly.
Katerina: | March 26th, 2012 | 9:32 am
There is also an opinion that an emulsion of fat and protein (with a nominally lower calorie content than pure vegetable oil) due to this combination is much better absorbed and stored in fat on the body.
Answer: Interesting. Then it turns out that mayonnaise is a dietary product. Not in the sense that it helps to lose weight, but in the fact that it is easily absorbed by the body. And it is not the food that is stored in fat, but its excess.
