Rapeseed oil is lowest bad cholesterol available and grown in UK. Palm oil is bad. Olive oil is good too. Have you a dietary issue with rapeseed? I'm sure if you check Holland and Barrett website or Waitrose you may find an alternative mayonnaise.
You might develop some resistance to hay-fever by eating the oil isn't that how locally produced honey works (not that we diabetics can eat it )I'd second that! But it's definitely expensive, so I tend to buy an extra jar or two when Ocado has it on offer.
However I've also used Hellmann's for donkeys years, and there's only a small quantity of oil in a dollop of mayonnaise. I have nothing against rapeseed oil apart from the fact that it's been grown very locally and the pollen used to give me rather bad hay fever...
that was my view on rape oil @Jim Lahey .and on the same line i note the first cooking oil to be emptied fromthe supermarket shelves has been the cheap sunflower /seed oils....does anyone remember the shelves of this stuff disapearing and used for fuel in diesel vehicles some years back ?
The Bamix has different blades for different functions and it makes a big difference, just between the aerating and the beating versions which look very similar. It is well worth investing in a set as seen on the TV selling channel with the little mixing additions for when you don't want to be cleaning out a big food processor.
Sadly, I seem quite incapable of obtaining the same result - and I tried olive (pomace), avocado and liquid coconut oils. Never foams up / thickens... I've seen a carnivore version made with duck fat, I have to try that (as at present I'm not eating plants anyway).
I'd like to try making it, too. What oil do you use? Would you share your recipe? Thank you!
I am so gonna try this, thank you! Plus I'm gonna do it with the accent
Oh good grief I hadn't even thought of that....sometime in my future I might just give it a go
Likely much higher carbs though and that matters far more to me that the myth that is the entire cholesterol debate.
