Helllmans vs Dukes
 

What do you prefer? I’ve been a Hellman’s user all my life and I just bought my first jug of Dukes. Just thought I’d give it a try (haven’t yet). I grew up with Hellmans and have never used anything else. Are there significant differences?
Wife grew up with Miracle Whip.
Thanks for any replies!

I grew up with Hellman's. Used it religiously... Until I tried Duke's. MUCH better...

AFA Miracle Whip goes, It's a crime against humanity! :p

On the west coast, Hellmans is Best Foods Real Mayonnaise. So, my preference is Hellmans. Have had both and Dukes is fine.
Miracle Whip, imho, the miracle is that they are still in business. Like non-dairy whipped topping pretending to be whipped cream, just doesn't taste good. Again, imho.

Had alot of both
 

Hellmans all the way

Mayo, Florida jokingly changes name to "Miracle Whip"
 

If you have a preference, Dukes does not have bioengineered ingredients like Hellman's does.

I agree. I tried Duke's after the constant TV commercials, but never saw the draw.

Please explain. Both products contain "calcium disodium EDTA", which is the only ingredient that I don't recognize. Which ingredient in Hellmann's is bioengineered?

I also prefer Hellman's. I find Dukes to be more eggy (Is that a word?) Miracle Whip is not mayonnaise.

Maybe Dukes egginess would be good for egg salad? 😉

I find Aldi's own brand mayo just as good.
In fact, I find many of Aldi's own products as good as, and in some cases better than the big brand names, and a whole lot cheaper.

Sometimes yes, sometimes no. But you can get stuff the other mkts don't have. And I agree that Aldi is a money saver.

Hellmann's for life. Duke's if Hellmann's isn't available and I can't wait for some reason. We'll just do without tuna salad if the only option was Miracle Whip.

There was a poll taken last year by the Raleigh News & Observer.
Duke's was the clear winner.

Duke's 61%
Hellmann's 21%
Kraft 7%
Miracle Whip 5%
Kewpie??? 3%
Heinz??? 0%

Sorry. Miracle Whip is, imo, isNEVERan option.

I'm surprised nobody mentioned Blue Plate.

No, it's not. But if someone were to tell me "there's no REAL mayo available, how about Miracle Whip instead?" I'd say "never mind, I'll just make something else for supper."

Thank you. NOLA's own. Oil, vinegar, and egg yokes.

I'm about to open my first jar of Blue Plate. I don't like Duke's and if Hellman's has 60% of the American market, it must mean it's bland & flavorless in comparison to other options.

I loved the Blue Plate label, so that was my choice on my last trip to Publix.

Sorry. Long ago, my grandmother made turkey sandwiches with Thanksgiving leftovers and Miracle Whip. They were great.

As a friend of mine used to say, "what ever blows your dress up"! Meaning, there is no accounting for taste!

Yup.

In our Southern kitchen it has and will always be Duke’s. Spouse grew up with MW. I had to go to a Commissary while living in the north to buy Duke’s, but worth two hour trip.

Dukes all the way. When my husband and I first got married he insisted on Hellmans. I didn't care at all what kind of mayo we used. I'm not a big fan of Miracle Whip but every so often would crave it. Once I had Dukes I never wanted another mayo. Thankfully my husband likes Dukes and Hellmans equally so was fine with switching to Dukes.

Duke's mayonnaise:
Soybean Oil, Eggs, Water, Distilled and Cider Vinegar, Salt, Oleoresin Paprika, Natural Flavors, Calcium Disodium EDTA Added to Protect Flavor.

On the Hellman's container, it simply says "ingredients derived from a bioengineered source". Doesn't say what ingredient. Hellman's is now making a vegan mayo that does not have that.

I think all mayonnaise is bland. I always add something to give more flavor. Sriracha, lemon zest, lime zest, garlic, chipotle, etc. It depends on what I am making. The added ingredient(s) turns bland into extraordinary. Therefore, I buy whatever brand is on sale.

That must be some new phrase or I've been unconscious. I've seen those words on most everything I've eaten in the last 6 months, that comes packaged.

Correct. Anyone who say otherwise should be reported to Homeland Security... :1rotfl:

I grew up on Miracle Whip but now we use Kraft, made with olive oil. I’ve never seen/heard of Duke’s. Look forward to trying it in April!

Where is Mrs. Filberts?

Mayo
 

Hellmans by far

We did the same Hellmans vs Duke Hellmans won no contest

A healthier option than either is avocado mayo to avoid the transfat in mainstream mayo brands.

I was always a Hellman's customer, tried Dukes. Now I can't taste the difference. Duke's seems to be a little creamier, I buy what ever is on sale now or I have a coupon for.

Mayo Packets
 

If given packets at a restaurant, the Helmanns is difficult to open, the seam down the middle of the back won't tear. Otherwise I doubt you can tell the difference.

Dukes all the way.

Dukes ALL THE WAY!!! Just Better than both Hellman's and Miracle Whip.

Yep I grew up with Hellmans and stayed with it until I decided to try Duke. Would never go back. Miracle Whip? Yuk

Here are the Hellmann's ingredients from their website:

Soybean oil, water, whole eggs, distilled vinegar, egg yolks, salt, sugar, lemon juice concentrate, calcium disodium edta (used to protect quality), natural flavors.

They both use soybean oil 90% of which is roundup ready. Thus both using gmo soybean oil. This makes the plant resistant to roundup so easier for the farmer to control weeds and increases yield.

This being said there is no protein in oil so no dna material either.
