About Mustard mayo
Mustard mayo is a creamy condiment that combines the tangy and sharp flavor of mustard with the smooth richness of mayonnaise. Originating from European cuisines, particularly French and German, it is widely used as a topping or dip for sandwiches, burgers, salads, and roasted vegetables. The nutritional profile varies depending on the recipe, but a typical serving is high in calories due to the combination of oil and egg yolks in mayonnaise, offering fats and small amounts of protein. It may also contain vitamin E and omega-3 fatty acids from oils used, as well as selenium from mustard seeds. However, it is typically low in vitamins and minerals unless specifically fortified.
Health Benefits
- Contains omega-3 fatty acids, essential for heart and brain health, from oils used in mayonnaise.

- Provides selenium from mustard seeds, which contributes to proper thyroid function and antioxidant protection.
Dietary Considerations
Selection and Storage
Store mustard mayo in the refrigerator at or below 40°F (4°C) in an airtight container and consume within the recommended timeframe indicated on the label, generally 1-2 weeks for homemade versions.
