HOW LONG DOES HOMEMADE MAYO LAST?
The homemade mayonnaise made with a blender is made without preservatives and with raw egg so it can last between 4 days and 1 week good if you add a tablespoon of vinegar but this alters the flavor and in any way, you have to be watching that does not spoil. Remember to always keep the mayo in the fridge.
TIPS TO PREPARE MAYONNAISE AT HOME
Be aware that homemade mayo has no preservatives, so it is likely that it will only last five to seven days in the refrigerator. If you want it to last much longer we can put a tablespoon of vinegar which will help us kept for much longer.
There are fats that our body needs to stay healthy. It is recommended to eat fish that contains omega 3, canola oil, raw olive oil, and this mayo is perfect to add healthy fats to our meals.
There are natural fats like the ones I just mentioned, as well as walnuts and almonds that help us carry negative cholesterol from our metabolism. I may sound strange but to get rid of the fat you need to eat fat! in moderation and in natural and healthy foods like avocado!
The thing to keep in mind with this is to eat it in moderation, in small portions. Since a tablespoon of canola or olive oil has about 120 calories.
This recipe can be prepared with different oils, I recommend that if you do not want to use olive oil as it has a stronger flavor, use canola oil or vegetable oil.
