Essential oils in the kitchen: how to use oils to give flavour and aroma to our dishes.

Essential oils not only have therapeutic uses in aromatherapy, but can also be used to add flavor and aroma to our dishes in the kitchen. Here are some tips for using essential oils in the kitchen:

  1.       Make sure you use food grade essential oils: Not all essential oils are safe for human consumption, so it is important to make sure you are using food grade essential oils that are safe for consumption.

 

  1.       Use essential oils in small amounts: Essential oils are highly concentrated, so only small amounts are needed to add flavor and aroma to dishes. Start with one or two drops and adjust the amount as needed.

 

  1.       Add essential oils at the end of the cooking process: Essential oils can lose their flavor and aroma if cooked for too long, so it is best to add them at the end of the cooking process or just before serving.

 

  1.       Combine essential oils with carrier oils: To dilute essential oils and prevent them from being too strong, you can combine them with carrier oils such as olive oil, coconut oil, or avocado oil.

 

  1.       Experiment with different flavors and aromas: Essential oils can be a fun way to experiment with different flavors and aromas in the kitchen. Try lemon, mint, oregano, rosemary, thyme, and other essential oils.

 

In conclusion, essential oils can be a delicious and aromatic addition to your dishes. Always make sure to use food-grade essential oils and follow the recommendations for their use in cooking. Try out different flavors and have fun experimenting in the kitchen!
