About Peri mayo

Peri Mayo is a condiment that combines the creamy texture of mayonnaise with the spicy tang of Peri-Peri sauce, a chili-based sauce originating in African and Portuguese cuisine. Known for its bold flavor, it is a blend of eggs, oil, vinegar, or lemon juice (mayonnaise base) with the addition of hot spices, paprika, and citrus notes from the Peri-Peri sauce. Nutritionally, it is calorie-dense due to its high-fat content (from mayonnaise) and contains small amounts of vitamin C and capsaicin thanks to the chili-based ingredients. While not a significant source of essential nutrients, its intense flavor makes it a popular choice for enhancing dishes like sandwiches, wraps, and grilled meat.

Health Benefits

• Capsaicin in the chili can support metabolism and may enhance fat oxidation.
• Vitamin C from citrus elements in Peri-Peri sauce supports immune health.
• The eggs in the mayonnaise provide high-quality protein for muscle repair and maintenance.

Dietary Considerations

Allergens: Contains eggs, soy (if used in the mayonnaise), mustard (if included), milk (if dairy-based ingredients are used)

Suitable for: Vegetarian (if prepared without additional animal products)

Not suitable for: Vegan, egg-free, low-fat diets

Selection and Storage

Store Peri Mayo in an airtight container in the refrigerator and consume it within a week of preparation or by the expiration date if store-bought. Avoid leaving it at room temperature to prevent spoilage.
