Why Zero Acre Oil Is Catching Fire Among Michelin-Starred Chefs bonap.it/R1EXv3I

Seed oils are ubiquitous and were once unnoticed, but now removing them is earning restaurants Michelin awards. Los Felix and Krüs Kitchen are the first in Miami to win Green Stars, for eliminating seed oils, sourcing locally and using grass fed meats. miamiherald.com/miami-com/rest…

Restaurant kitchens are leading the way with a cooking oil change. @Bloomberg covers the trend: bloomberg.com/news/articles/…

@WesC512 @hopdoddy Not currently, but we're always exploring opportunities to collaborate with partners in the Austin area. Stay tuned for updates!

Hey @ZeroAcreFarms , do you know if @hopdoddy and Lil’Doddy are still cooking with your oil instead of vegetable oil?

@chriscardinal Hi Chris, we're sorry to see that your bottles arrived dented. Sometimes, shipping can be harder on our bottles than we'd like. We'd appreciate if you could email us at hello@zeroacre.com so we can make things right. Thank you for bringing this to our attention!

@ZeroAcreFarms kinda weird to me that 3/4 of my bottles were dented, even though the box seemed fine? Don't think it's too big a deal, but just pointing it out

At Zero Acre, we work with cultures that most efficiently produce healthy oils in a sustainable way, specifically algae and yeast. Algae and yeast are the most productive cultures when it comes to the fermentation of sugar into oil. And yes, the process is similar to how cows and other ruminant animals break down the fibers and sugars in plants (typically grasses) and convert them into short-chain fatty acids, with the help of microbial cultures in their guts.

@ZeroAcreFarms So the oil comes from the yeast/bacteria? Much like cows get their fat intake from the bacteria fermenting the grass they eat?

Hopdoddy is making history as the 1st national burger chain to commit to a seed oil-free menu, beginning in all Austin, San Antonio & San Marcos, TX locations, where Zero Acre oil has fully replaced soybean oil in every fryer. prnewswire.com/news-releases/… Read on to get free fries 👇

Thanks for asking! Zero Acre oil is made by fermenting raw sugar from sugarcane. The sugar is naturally broken down and converted into oil – just as fermentation converts sugar into alcohol to make beer or wine. The oil is then separated by expeller-pressing, without the use of harsh chemical solvents like hexane.

@ZeroAcreFarms What's the process for extraction of oil from sugar cane?

@DimitriRadoux @TuckerGoodrich Thanks for asking! There are no detectable levels of phytosterols in Zero Acre oil.

@TuckerGoodrich Never asked or investigated this, but since this oil is from fermentation, I guess it is phytosterol free as well?

Holy cow. #lcl6

To bring the land savings to life, Hopdoddy is giving away FREE FRIES until 10/31 (details below) to anyone who takes a photo on their "9 sq ft" in-store decal, which represents how much less land is required to make one order of fries with Zero Acre oil instead of soybean oil.

Why is Zero Acre oil so much more environmentally friendly? It's made from the highest yielding crop in the world – sugarcane. Sugarcane is a perennial, rain-fed crop (not an irrigated annual monocrop). That means less land, less CO2, and less water.
