Spice up your life this holiday season!
Not only are essential oils powerful tools in the holistic medicine toolbox, but they can take your cooking to a whole new level.

There are three categories of essential oils used in cooking: herbal, spices, and citrus.

 

1. Herbal

Using herbal essential oils is an excellent way to flavor foods and take the vitality of a dish up a notch! Remember to add the essential oil to foods in the end of cooking, so that it will not boil away. This way the oils keep their vibrancy and have health benefits.

(e.g. Basil, oregano, thyme, rosemary, lavender, lemongrass, peppermint, and spearmint.)

 

2. Spice

These spice oils are quite strong, so it is a good idea to use them sparingly. Only use a drop or two, and remember to taste along the way.

GREAT TIP: Dip a toothpick in the oil bottle and then stir the food with the toothpick. That tiny drop may be all you need to achieve the taste you desire!

(e.g. Black pepper, cinnamon bark, clove, ginger, carrot seed, celery, and dill)

 

3. Citrus

Citrus oils are invigorating and delicious. Adding zesty drops to guacamole, seafood, dressings, or desserts gives foods delicious zing.

(e.g. orange, lemon, lime, Citrus Fresh, bergamot, and tangerine.)
