Mayonnaise has many fans because it can be incorporated into a variety of menus, but many people avoid it because it is not healthy. If there was a mayonnaise that was healthy, nutritious, plant-based, and on top of that environmentally friendly, it would please a lot of people. And among algae, I would like to make a healthy mayonnaise using spirulina, which is so rich in nutrients that it is called the "king of superfoods. The development project started from such a desire of the members involved in the production and sales of the only raw spirulina in Japan.
I want to eat mayonnaise, but I am inevitably put off by its health concerns. Is there any mayonnaise that is healthy and safe to eat? I usually choose safe and healthy ingredients, so I want to be particular about seasonings as well.
Spirulina tastes a lot like eggs. What if we used spirulina instead of eggs used in mayonnaise? With spirulina, a safe, secure, and healthy mayonnaise can be achieved.
We would love to make a plant-based mayonnaise, as we get many requests for it. We would like to use as many ingredients as possible, not only eggs, but also wheat, top white sugar, and additives.
Spirulina is one of the wonderful algae that "makes both people and the earth healthy" because it contains abundant nutrients and its cultivation method is very earth-friendly. There are many people waiting for plant-based mayonnaise using such spirulina, not only in Japan but also overseas.
During the prototype stage, we ran into a wall of unstable color. Even under the same conditions, the vivid blue color would sometimes appear and sometimes fade. Color is an important element in food products, and we really wanted to express the beautiful blue color of spirulina. However, when we prioritized color, the unique taste of spirulina came out. After repeated trial and error, we finally succeeded in creating a product that we were satisfied with. The mayonnaise, which had been affectionately called "algae mayonnaise" during the prototype stage, was given an official name and design, and thus was born "ECOMAYO," a delicious mayonnaise made from algae.
We are repeating test production, but we are struggling with the color. In the company's kitchen, we get a beautiful azure color, but in the factory, it turns brown.
It is strange that they are made at the same temperature and under the same conditions. If you prioritize color, you will now get the unique taste of algae. Let's try various conditions until we manage to produce a beautiful azure color consistently without using coloring agents.
After repeated prototyping, I came up with an idea and finally (trade secret) stabilized the color and taste. Now we have our product!
After extensive internal and external interviews, the product name was decided on as "Tasty Tasteful Yo Eco-Mayo made from Algae. Actually, we are particular about the "yo" in "Tasty yo. We hope it will be familiar to everyone.
The container is an environmentally friendly bottle. The label is inspired by algae. The design is also suitable for placing on a table at a party or when welcoming guests.
Why is ECOMAYO green?
The beautiful green color of ECOMAYO is a natural color derived from spirulina, the "king of superfoods. Spirulina contains the unique blue pigment phycocyanin, as well as green chlorophyll and yellow beta-carotene pigments. Phycocyanin is known to enhance the skin barrier function and has strong antioxidant properties.

What is the salt content of ECOMAYO?
The salt equivalent per tablespoon (12 g) of eco mayo is 0.3 g. A "pinch of salt" is said to be around 0.5 g, but this is less. A "pinch of salt" is said to be about 0.5 g, but this is less than that.
