Everyone knows that the key to a good salad or power bowl is the dressing that goes on top.
If you didn’t know, one of our core philosophies at Impact Kitchen is to eat real food—and we take that commitment seriously, even down to the dressings that top your favourite power bowls! Did you know that all of Impact Kitchen’s dressings are housemade, free of preservatives and use extra virgin olive oil or avocado oil instead of industrial seed oils?
Industrial seed oils are highly processed vegetable oils (made from soybeans, canola oil, cottonseed and safflower seeds) that have been refined, bleached and deodorized. While these oils are fine in moderation, they are higher in pro-inflammatory omega-6s, and a large consumption of these oils can throw off your delicate omega-3 to omega-6 balance, leading to increased inflammation. Because of this, we should aim to consume more anti-inflammatory oils to help maintain a healthier omega 3:6 ratio.
Olive oil, and olives themselves, offer up a good source of monounsaturated fat – particularly oleic acid – and have been found to have anti-inflammatory properties. Olive oil also contains antioxidants, as well as vitamin E and K.
Impact uses avocado oil as the primary base for all of its cooking. Avocado oil is also the perfect replacement for vegetable oil because of its more neutral-tasting profile – making it a good base for condiments like our housemade mayonnaise. Similar to olive oil, avocados are rich in oleic acid and antioxidants that give them some anti-inflammatory properties.
Every day, our Commissary Kitchen prepares and delivers freshly made dressings to each Impact location, so we can ensure that our customers and community receive the highest quality, nutrient-dense menu items.
