Why Avocado Oil?
Roll Play’s Healthy Revolution Continues: Our Bolder Move to Seed Oil-Free Dining. Our Viet Food ‘HASS’ Your Back! Discover the Delicious Upgrades at Roll Play, Now with Avocado Oil.
Hey Roll Play Fam!
Last week, while visiting Sweetgreen in Ashburn, I snapped this photo. Yes, they’ve made strides by cooking with healthier oils, which is indeed impressive. But it got me thinking…
Cooking vs. Consuming
Sweetgreen uses olive and avocado oils for cooking, which I initially loved. But then my curious glance on their website turned up surprising facts: the base for the majority of their dressings are seed oils like canola and sunflower oil. These seed oils were also ingredients in many of their toppings. (Sweetgreen Ingredients List September 2024)
The Realization
It hit me: What’s the point of avoiding cooked seed oils if we’re just going to ingest it through dressings? Most people (myself included) find salads way too boring to eat without the dressings and toppings. And most people eating Sweetgreen for the health benefits do not check their dressing ingredients. I felt compelled to ensure our community at Roll Play doesn’t face this inconsistency.
Roll Play’s Full Commitment
Inspired, I pushed our avocado oil initiative a step further to completely eliminate seed oils not just from all of our cooking but from every ingredient we use. This was not easy but we’ve revamped our signature peanut sauce with natural peanut butter free of hydrogenated oils, switched to seed oil-free egg roll wrappers, and replaced all fryer oil with non-GMO, expeller-pressed avocado oil. Now, even our crispy egg rolls are completely seed oil-free too!
Every ingredient of every item on Roll Play’s menu is 100% seed oil-free, ensuring no deception and no hidden surprises. The decision to switch to avocado oil (especially our fryer) was especially tough— costing us tens of thousands every month — but is crucial for delivering on our promise. We’re committed to transparency in every bite, offering dishes that support both your cravings and your health.
I invite you to experience the change yourself. Come taste the difference at Roll Play, where we’re proud to offer a truly health-conscious menu without cutting corners. Thank you for being a part of our journey to Viet Food that Loves You Too!
