Yay! We’ve Swapped Seed Oils for Heart-Healthy EVOO!
At Simple Kneads, we’ve always believed that food should nourish both the body and the soul. That’s why we’re excited to share a meaningful change we’ve made in our bakery: We’ve officially swapped out seed oils in all of our baking and replaced them with heart-healthy extra virgin olive oil (EVOO). Why the switch? Extra virgin olive oil is packed with antioxidants and healthy monounsaturated fats, making it a smarter, cleaner choice for your heart. It’s been a staple in Mediterranean diets for centuries, and now, it’s a staple in ours too.
