Kewpie Mayo

Unlike regular mayonnaise, kewpie mayo is creamier and richer, made with egg yolks and rice vinegar. It’s so indulgent, basically like mayo taken to the next level, and it’s a great way to take any dish up a notch that you would usually use regular mayo in.

Mustard is a Plant

The well-known condiment is technically called prepared mustard. The plant mustard is a member of the Brassica genera and is a relative to many common vegetables like broccoli, cabbage, and cauliflower.

It’s the Oldest Condiment

Many experts believe that mustard was the first condiment people ever used. Grinding the seeds into a paste and mixing them with vinegar or wine dates back to the Roman Empire.

Biggest Producers

Most of the world’s mustard comes from only two countries – Canada and Nepal. Together, the crops from these two countries end up in more than half of all the mustard produced in the world.

It Almost Can’t Spoil

Mustard is basically just a bland of acidic liquid and spices, and as such can’t really spoil. It’s best to keep it in the fridge but that’s not even necessary. Over time, it may lose flavor but will generally remain safe to eat.

Mustard

By far, mustard is the healthiest condiment you probably have in your pantry. There are almost no calories in it because basically, it’s just mustard seeds ground up with liquids like water and vinegar. Because of that, mustard can actually be pretty healthy for you, especially good quality mustard.

Hot Sauce

Another vinegar-based condiment, hot sauce is an excellent choice if you want to add flavor to your food without adding unhealthy ingredients. The only thing about hot sauce is that there is sometimes a lot of salt, but overall, you can’t go too wrong with hot sauce.

Ranch

Ranch is delicious, but definitely not a healthy ingredient to have at your cookout. Because it’s made with buttermilk, which has a lot of cholesterol and fat, you really should use it with moderation.

Mayonaise

Unfortunately, mayo is one of the most unhealthy things to have in your fridge. One tablespoon has almost 100 calories, which is really a lot when you think about how much mayo you probably use in your cooking.

Hot Sauce

Whether you’re putting it on chicken or potatoes, the heat and vinegar taste that hot sauce provides is necessary for so many dishes. However, making your own ensure that no unknown additives go in, like the kind you get from store-bought. Luckily, all you need to make it is hot peppers, vinegar, garlic, and salt cooked in a pot and blended!

Mayonnaise

Mayo is the base for so many other great condiments, so perfecting it is necessary, and luckily it couldn’t be easier. Simply whisk or blend an egg yolk, lemon juice, vinegar, mustard and ½ teaspoon of salt together until the mixture is bright yellow. Then, gently add in olive oil while continuing to whisk or blend, and you’ll have amazing mayonnaise!

Tartar Sauce

Tartar sauce is absolutely when you’re eating fried fish, whether it’s in a sandwich or by itself.  Instead of using something from a jar, make the recipe above for mayonnaise, add onions and dill pickles, and you have yourself gourmet tartar sauce.
