Why Baby’s Marché Is Seed-Oil Free
At Baby’s Marché, every ingredient matters. That’s why we made a conscious decision to be completely seed-oil free in our café kitchen. From our house-made sauces and mayos to our artisan jams, every product reflects our commitment to quality, health, and flavor.
Seed oils: such as canola, sunflower, safflower, grapeseed, rice bran, cottonseed, soybean, corn, vegetable, palm and corn oil are common in many cafés and restaurants, but we refuse to compromise our standards. Here’s why.
What Are Seed-Oils and Why We Avoid Them
Seed-oils are vegetable oils extracted from seeds, often through heavy processing that includes high heat, chemicals, and refinement. While small amounts of omega-6 fatty acids are necessary, excessive consumption can contribute to:
Inflammation in the body
Oxidative stress
Potential long-term effects on metabolic health
At Baby’s Marché, we believe that what goes into your food should nourish your body, not harm it, which is why seed-oils are never part of our menu.
Our Commitment to House-Made Ingredients
Being seed-oil free means we can’t rely on store bought sauces, mayos, or spreads, most commercially made versions contain refined oils. That’s why we make everything in-house, including:
Mayos and dressings
Jams and preserves
Specialty sauces for sandwiches and salads
Making these items from scratch allows us to control every ingredient, keep flavors natural and fresh, and ensure no hidden additives. It also means that each batch reflects our care, consistency, and dedication to quality.
The Challenges of Being Seed-Oil-Free
Running a seed-oil free café isn’t easy. We face challenges such as:
Higher ingredient costs for oils like olive, avocado, or coconut
Sourcing clean ingredients without compromise
Consistency and shelf life house-made products require careful testing and storage
Despite these hurdles, we never compromise on quality. Every batch of sauce, jam, or mayo is made with intention, so you can taste the difference in every bite.
Why This Matters for Our Community
We also believe that restaurants and cafés have the power to influence healthier eating. By choosing to go seed-oil free:
We create cleaner, more wholesome menu items
We provide our community with food that tastes better and supports wellness
Our goal is simple: to craft flavors that shine naturally and meals that make our customers feel good inside and out.
Being seed-oil free is at the heart of Baby’s Marché, it isn’t just a choice, it’s our promise to serve food that’s clean, flavorful, and made with care, every single day.
