Frequently asked
Does Flower Child use seed oils?
Based on our menu research, Flower Child cooks with: olive oil (estimated). Across the 52 menu items we analyzed, it averages 7.9g estimated PUFA per item, earning a seed-oil grade of C (High Risk).
What oil does Flower Child cook with?
Our research indicates: no deep fryer found; their own menu names the item "Roasted Sweet Potato Fries" (not fried), and nothing in their official nutrition sheet (revised 9/1/26) across soups, salads, bowls, wraps, or sides uses fried/crispy language. The chain publishes NO general cooking-oil statement; the only oils it names are the E.V.O.O. on the avocado toast, the "olive oil roasted vegetables" and the lemon olive oil cake, plus avocado based dressings (avocado caesar, lemon-avocado dressing, avocado hummus) and a sunflower sauce on the Glow Bowl. Several panels (Forbidden Rice 9% saturated, roasted sweet potato fries 12%, black bean falafel 12.5%) sit below olive oil's own 14% saturated share, so olive oil cannot be assumed for every dish; coconut milk drives the fat in curry dishes like the spicy coconut curry bowl (54g fat, 42g of it saturated). Preparation can vary by location, so treat PUFA numbers as estimates.
Does Flower Child use beef tallow?
No. Our research indicates Flower Child cooks with olive oil (estimated), not beef tallow. For chains that fry in tallow or other real fats, see Tallow Watch.

Several panels (Forbidden Rice 9% saturated, roasted sweet potato fries 12%, black bean falafel 12.5%) sit below olive oil's own 14% saturated share, so olive oil cannot be assumed for every dish; coconut milk drives the fat in curry dishes like the spicy coconut curry bowl (54g fat, 42g of it saturated), which includes seed oils.

What are seed oils?
Seed oils — canola, soybean, sunflower, corn, and similar vegetable oils — are extracted from seeds using high heat and chemical solvents. They are very high in polyunsaturated fats (PUFAs), which are unstable at cooking temperatures and can oxidize easily. Many health-conscious eaters choose to minimize seed oils and prefer foods cooked in beef tallow, butter, coconut oil, or olive oil instead. This page shows estimated PUFA grams per menu item to help you make more informed choices. These are estimates — actual values vary by preparation and location. New to the topic?
