Deep dives

Healthier Condiment Alternatives

Many popular condiments, such as mayonnaise and salad dressings, contain unhealthy ingredients that can adversely affect health. For example, store-bought mayonnaise is often made with soybean oil, which is high in omega-6 fats and can contain harmful additives. Instead, healthier homemade versions can be crafted using fresh lemon juice, pastured eggs, mustard for emulsification, and quality oils. These alternatives not only taste better but also serve as better nutritional sources, allowing individuals to enjoy familiar flavors without compromising their health.
