Garlic Mustard Aioli
by T B S
A traditional-style mustard aioli with real garlic and eggs, but significantly downgraded by soybean oil. The omega-6 inflammatory load from soybean oil undermines otherwise clean ingredients like mustard seed, vinegar, and fresh garlic.
- Mustard Seed – beneficial · Whole mustard seeds provide natural antimicrobial compounds, selenium, and omega-3 fatty acids with anti-inflammatory properties.
- Distilled Vinegar – safe · Acetic acid from fermentation that aids digestion and provides natural preservation without artificial chemicals.
- Garlic – beneficial · Fresh garlic contains allicin and sulfur compounds with proven antimicrobial, cardiovascular, and anti-inflammatory benefits.
- Water – safe · Simple hydration component for texture and consistency in the emulsion.
- Soybean Oil – controversial · Highly processed seed oil with extreme omega-6 to omega-3 ratio (7:1) that promotes systemic inflammation when consumed regularly.
- Mustard Flour – safe · Ground mustard seed that provides thickening and additional mustard flavor compounds.
- Eggs – beneficial · Natural emulsifier providing choline, high-quality protein, and fat-soluble vitamins essential for brain and liver function.
- Allspice – beneficial · Natural spice containing eugenol and other phenolic compounds with antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties.
- Turmeric – beneficial · Curcumin-rich spice with potent anti-inflammatory effects and natural yellow coloring instead of artificial dyes.
- Salt – safe · Natural flavor enhancer and preservation aid in moderate quantities.
- Lemon Juice – beneficial · Natural citric acid source that provides vitamin C and natural preservation while enhancing flavor.
