It’s time for an oil change in restaurants and home kitchens.
About us
Vegetable oils (aka seed oils) are a big problem. They make up 20% of our daily calories and have been linked to widespread health and environmental issues. We’re here to change that. Our mission is to replace destructive vegetable oils used in our favorite restaurants and home kitchens. Seed oils are hidden in everything, from salad dressings and condiments, to fast food and Michelin-starred restaurants. Vegetable oils have been linked to weight gain, diabetes, cancer, cognitive decline, heart disease, autoimmune disease, and are a leading cause of deforestation and climate change. Zero Acre Farms is fixing one of the most problematic parts of our food system by introducing Zero Acre oil, a cleaner all-purpose cooking oil - with even more good fats than olive oil, a neutral taste, high smoke point and a smaller environmental footprint. Foods that are clean-fried in Zero Acre oil (not seed oils) have a delicious crisp taste with less greasiness, more heart-healthy fats and the lowest environmental impact compared to other cooking oils. Finally, restaurant and home kitchens have a replacement that offers the same versatility as vegetable oils without the health and environmental drawbacks. As a team of food lovers, nutritionists, medical professionals, scientists and Michelin-starred chefs, we’re banding together to save our health and planet without sacrificing the foods we love. We’re giving the world a much needed oil change, will you join us?

For the first time, The Michelin Guide has awarded a Green Star to select restaurants in Miami, in part for eliminating seed oils from their menus! Big congratulations this Earth Day to Los Felix and Krüs Kitchen, along with the entire Grassfed Culture Hospitality team, led by Josh, Pilar, and Chef Vargas. Shifting the food system forward requires bold leadership, and we are proud to see their efforts rewarded. Our bodies and planet thank you! Across the country, there are only 29 restaurants holding Michelin Green Stars–awarded to restaurants for sustainable gastronomy that combines culinary excellence with exceptional sustainability practices throughout every step of the supply chain. Seed oils are derived from some of the lowest yielding, highest-emitting annual monocrops, and we applaud the Michelin Guide for recognizing the power of this ingredient change.

A long time coming! This is the headline I hoped would become a reality when we started Zero Acre Farms four years ago. And we're just getting going. "Alternative Cooking Oils Are Taking Over Restaurant Kitchens" Thank you Kat Odell for shining a light on the restaurants saying no to harmful, low quality seed oils, like SingleThread Farm - Restaurant - Inn, Blue Hill At Stone Barns, and COQODAQ, who continue to be champions for not only incredibly delicious food, but also our belief in a healthier world with better oils and fats. https://lnkd.in/gfrizYDV
