Something new and different – Just Mayo, a ‘plant based mayonnaise’ that is egg-free contains zero cholesterol and is gluten and soy free… Sounds a little too good to be true. Well oddly in this case it’s not. Hampton Creek a US company has spent over two years researching a replacement for the egg-based emulsifiers found in traditional mayonnaise. After screening over 1500 plants they found it was possible to use a specific variety of the Canadian yellow pea (a type of split pea) to replicate the binding properties of the eggs to create a ‘plant-based’ mayonnaise.
Just Mayo is exclusively available in four flavors: Original, Chipotle, Sriracha and Garlic at Great in Pacific Place (although expect to find it in PARKnSHOP, Fusion, Taste, International , Gourmet and SU-PA-DE-PA stores soon). At the recent product launch Great’s Tim Broderick demonstrated by preparing a range of dishes that beyond the ‘plant-based’ hype Just Mayo is a tasty option for all.
