{Cooking with Essential Oils}

Did you know you can cook with essential oils?

Food grade essential oils can be used in cooking and beverages – enhancing flavor and providing a boost to health. All of dōTERRAs essential oils are high quality and those essential oils which come from edible plants (such as lemon, basil, thyme, oregano, marjoram, wild orange, etc.) are safe to use internally.

The easiest way to begin cooking with dōTERRAs aromatherapy oils is to substitute the essential oils in recipes that call for dried herbs, spices or fruit juices. Simply replace these ingredients with the companion essential oil.

Many people believe that using essential oils in cooking is a relatively new idea; in fact there are thousands of food products that use essential oils for aroma and flavor such as chewing gum, chocolates, candies, and many more.

The difference between those oils for flavoring food and dōTERRAs essential oils is that dōTERRA’s essential oils are superior in quality, which simply means you will be getting the healthful benefits of the plant when you use them, and not just the ‘flavor.’

While certain essential oils can be harmful if taken in high dosages, moderate use as flavoring (a few drops per person) is not only safe but delicious!
