Why Mayo Isn’t as Bad as You Think

Mayonnaise – this creamy, thick sauce has the ability to transform any dish. Often referred to as “Mayo” by many, it seems like such an important, unassuming part of our kitchen today. Conventionally, mayonnaise contains egg. Whether mayonnaise is good or bad has always been the subject of debate, but Nutralite’s range of veg mayonnaise addresses this debate in some unique ways.
