Primal Kitchen earns strong reviews for delivering clean, flavorful condiments and sauces that work well for restrictive diets and everyday cooking, with standouts like Buffalo Sauce, Caesar, Dijon Mustard, and unsweetened Ketchup. Reviews also note drawbacks: certain flavors skew tangy or acidic, some items taste similar or thin, mayo can separate, and a few products carry a distinct avocado oil aftertaste.

  • My family has extreme dietary restrictions, and primal kitchen has been a life safer. We've loved all of their condiments, especially the Caesar! We do stray away from their garlic aoli. Their ingredients, ease of access, and price point make it a staple in my house.

  • This sauce is seriously tasty! It has that sweet-savory Korean BBQ flavor with a hint of garlic and spices, and I love that it’s made with clean, simple ingredients. It’s great on grilled veggies and meats or even as a dipping sauce. If I had one nitpick, it’s a bit thinner than I expected, so I occasionally add a quick simmer to thicken it up. Still, I use it all the time, such a good pantry staple!

  • I've tried a few products from Primal Kitchen and they all seem to taste very similar. The products all contain avocado oil and that is a main flavor for sure. I don't like these and prefer mayo-based products. Vegans might get behind this but I'd rather chose alternatives.

  • Love this brand and practically everything they make! My favorite though is their buffalo sauce it is spicy and creamy and delicious. It helps that the ingredients are better than most buffalo sauces too

  • I like Primal Kitchen for their condiments, in particular their mayo. It has an excellent taste that is better tasting than traditional mayonaise in my opinion. I appreciate the health aspect of the avocado oil and other good fats.

  • I've only tried the ketchup from this brand, but it's pretty decent. I'm not normally huge on ketchup because I don't really like tomatoes or the fact that most ketchups have high fructose corn syrup in them. This unsweetened one I appreciate because I can put it on my burgers in good conscious because I know I'm not adding something bad to my food.

  • I’ve had some items that aren’t the greatest. I think it is mainly the aftertaste and certain flavors coming through strongly. It’s nice there is a no soy teriyaki sauce. It’s kind of been hard to cook without soy.

  • Wanted to reintroduce ketchup into my life and opted for their version. Tried it, enjoyed it, liked their ingredients, liked that it was unsweetened and have since been buying their ketchup. Texture is exactly how I like it and I like that it comes in a glass bottle. Can be quite expensive, but it's a quality product that I feel good using.

  • This brand has a good variety of premium sauces, spreads, and dips. They do have a higher price point which is my main issue because it doesn't necessarily taste much better than more affordable brands. The avocado lime dipping sauce was cool amd creamy.

  • Really the best condiments on the market. Clean, tasty, and less sugar than most. We buy the ketchup because it has no sugar and my kids love ketchup so I buy this frequently. I love that it comes in a glass bottle as well.

  • I really enjoy this product! It’s a welcoming alternative to major brands that healthier. It’s worth the cost because you are investing in your health. The taste is delicious, texture is on point! I’ve enjoyed this staple in my kitchen for a while now. I’m grateful for this product!! I highly recommend Mayo avocado oil!! Great job!

  • I used Primal Kitchen Mayo Whip to take my dishes to the next level and it did not disappoint! With a tangy, slightly sweet flavor it's the perfect pairing for summer salads, sandwiches, dips, and more. It has become part of my family meals. Clean ingredients and great flavor!

  • I'm a fan of the entire line. The Alfredo sauce is a perfect alternative for dairy free pasta sauce. It does kind of taste very similar to their ranch sauce, and I think I like the Daiya sauce more because it's thicker, but this still hit the spot. We're on a dairy free gluten free sugar free everything free diet at the moment but still want to get creative with our meals and not have to eat rabbit food. Definitely worth a try.

  • I recently tried Primal kitchen whip and loved light, plant based quality ingredients. The flavor was tangy, delicious and creamy perfect to add on anything.

  • I have purchased the squeeze bottle of the avocado mayo. I love the taste and have noticed my digestion is better.

  • This brand is such an awesome better for you brand. Way less sugar than average brands and think that is worth the money. Taste is on point. Lots of varieties which is important too

  • I'm a big fan of Primal Kitchen! They are good, healthier alternatives to some of the major brands (Hunts/Hidden Valley/etc) and their flavors are spot on.

  • high quality, clean ingredients and affordable. I love their mayo and matcha collagen

  • It's so hard to find condiments and dressings with extra sugar or canola oil in them so I was worried these might disappoint on a taste level but I was wrong!! I've tried the bbq sauce and a few dressings and they've all been delicious!!!

  • I love Primal Kitchen. I’m really into “clean eating” (really just watching how much oils, fillers and gums I’m consuming) and I end up making my own condiments, dressings, and sauces from scratch. Primal is great because I can get the same nutrient dense, artificial free flavors I want without having to spend hours in the kitchen. They have a lot of products for dietary needs- gluten free, dairy free, kosher, vegan, Whole30, etc.
