# Seed-Oil-Free Hotel Menus Proper Hotels x Zero Acre Farms Partner for a Health-Centric Experience By Debra John | Published 2025-05-14 | Lifestyle Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/healthcentric-experience References: [properhotel](https://www.properhotel.com/2) & [zeroacre](https://www.zeroacre.com/page/zero-acre-cultured-oil2)  A health-centric experience defines the latest culinary initiative from [Proper Hotels](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/proper-club), which has implemented a comprehensive transition to seed oil–free kitchens in partnership with Zero Acre Farms. Replacing conventional industrial oils such as canola, sunflower, and soybean, with a refined selection of non–seed oils, the change prioritizes nutritional integrity, environmental responsibility, and culinary performance. Proper is now the first national hotel brand to adopt [Zero Acre Farms’](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/zero-acre-farms) fermentation-derived oil for all deep-frying applications, establishing a new benchmark in hospitality wellness. This shift complements "Proper’s integrated wellness philosophy, anchored in five pillars: Nourishment, Movement, Recovery, Rest, and Connection." Emphasis remains on "local, organic ingredients, regenerative agriculture, functional nutrition, and low-temperature cooking" that protects flavor and health benefits. Further elevating the guest experience, 'Manukora [Manuka](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bioactive-blends) Honey' will be introduced to complimentary breakfasts across all properties beginning May 2025, reinforcing Proper’s dedication to conscious and enriching hospitality.
