Frequently asked
What are seed oils and why do people avoid them?
Seed oils — canola, soybean, sunflower, corn, cottonseed, and grapeseed oil — are extracted from seeds using industrial processes and high heat. They are extremely high in omega-6 linoleic acid, which many researchers link to chronic inflammation when consumed in excess. Health-conscious consumers increasingly prefer traditional cooking fats: beef tallow, lard, pastured butter, ghee, and coconut oil.

How do I know if a restaurant uses seed oils?
The easiest way is to ask directly — "What oil do you cook with?" Restaurants that are genuinely seed-oil-free will say they use butter, ghee, tallow, lard, or olive oil. Many vendors on Fresh Map specify their cooking fats in their profile.
Can I buy seed-oil-free cooking fat in Tallahassee?
Yes — several health food stores, co-ops, and farmers market vendors in Tallahassee carry grass-fed tallow, pastured lard, cultured butter, and cold-pressed coconut oil. Search "no-seed-oils" on Fresh Map to find local retailers.
