Zero Acre oil is an all-purpose cooking oil made from rain-fed sugarcane plants, the highest yielding crop in the world. Natural fermentation breaks down raw sugar from the sugarcane and converts it to oil with a neutral taste and low carbon footprint. This method uses 99% less water than olive oil and 87% less land than canola oil. 

It’s full of the same fats we’ve eaten for hundreds of thousands of years, made up of 93% healthy monounsaturated fat (making it even higher in good fat than olive oil), 4% saturated fat, and 3% polyunsaturated fat.

Good for any recipe, it has a clean taste that makes your ingredients shine, and a high smoke point for low-toxin cooking.

- Zero Acre oil contains more than 90% heart-healthy and heat-stable monounsaturated fat, even more than olive oil and avocado oil.

- Zero Acre oil contains less of the fats that have been linked to inflammation, heart disease, and poor health, with less than 3% omega-6 linoleic acid. That’s up to 10 times less than avocado oil, olive oil, and canola oil and 20-40 times less than sunflower oil, soybean oil, and grape seed oil.

- Zero Acre oil has a high smoke point and high oxidative stability, meaning it holds up to heat and storage, and doesn’t easily break down into compounds that harm our health. In a third-party study, cooking with Zero Acre oil was found to produce significantly fewer toxic aldehydes than with other cooking oils.

- Zero Acre oil is vegan, keto, kosher, Whole30 Approved®, gluten-free, soy-free, nut-free, allergen-free, pesticide-free, glyphosate-free, non-GMO, and deforestation-free.

Zero Acre oil has a low environmental impact compared to most vegetable oils and offers a scalable solution to many of the environmental problems caused by vegetable oils. The production of Zero Acre oil results in: 

- 87% less land use than canola oil

- 86% less greenhouse gas emissions than soybean oil

- 99% less water consumption than olive oil

- Comes in an infinitely-recyclable aluminum bottle

In order to put numbers to the environmental impact of different oils, an independent product life cycle analysis (LCA) was performed. The analysis found that the process behind Zero Acre oil results in a lower carbon and water footprint than nearly all major commercial vegetable oils.

A separate analysis looking at land use efficiency (the amount of land needed to produce one metric ton of oil) demonstrates that Zero Acre oil has the highest oil yield per acre compared to most major commercial vegetable oils.

Compared to the production of soybean oil, for example, Zero Acre oil emits 86% fewer greenhouse gases, consumes 83% less water, and uses 90% less land. Learn more about the results of this analysis in our sustainability report.

- A clean, neutral taste and high smoke point (up to 485ºF) make Zero Acre oil a versatile upgrade for all-purpose cooking duties. 

- You can use Zero Acre oil for everything — deep fry, stir fry, roast, bake, sauté, dress, spray, brush, and drizzle.

- Zero Acre oil is liquid at room temperature and stays liquid in the fridge, making it great for dressings and marinades.

- Zero Acre oil has a high smoke point and high oxidative stability, meaning it holds up to heat and storage, and doesn’t easily break down into compounds that harm our health. In a third party study, cooking with Zero Acre oil was found to produce significantly fewer toxic aldehydes than with other cooking oils.

Zero Acre oil is safe to consume for those with common allergens, including soy, peanuts, tree nuts, wheat, sesame seeds, shellfish, dairy, and gluten.
