Mayonnaise is a really useful ingredient when you’re on a keto diet. Along with cheese it’s one of those add-on foods which feel like a real treat and help to add that all important high-fat, low-carb element.
I’ve gone through the offerings from the main UK supermarkets to see which mayonnaises are the most suitable for keto dieters, and here’s what I found.
Unsurprisingly perhaps there’s a huge range between the best and worst (from 0 carb to 19g of carbs), so it shows how important it is to check the carb values on any shop-bought mayonnaise.
Here are the results of the best shop-bought keto-mayonnaises I’ve found, listed from low-carb to high.
