Adding Flavor
Essential oils are naturally potent and powerful because they are highly concentrated and taken directly from natural sources. The purity and potency of essential oils make them perfect for adding flavor to any dish. Because essential oils are so powerful, it doesn’t take much to add an extra kick of flavor to your favorite entrees, beverages, meats, desserts, and more. Cooking with essential oils has been around for centuries, it's not a new mysterious fad. The key is to use the essential oils safely and follow proper guidelines for internal benefits to promote wellness in the body. Includes promotion of healthy digestion, cleanse the body, support healthy function of the body’s systems, provide the body with antioxidants, and other internal benefits. When you add an essential oil to your food or beverage, not only will you experience the powerful flavors of the oil, but you can experience any internal benefits the oil has to offer. Cooking with essential oils provides a fun, creative way to use essential oils internally and reap the benefits they have to offer.
High quality, well-tested essential oils are safe to consume
Not all essential oils are created equal. Some essential oil companies add fillers or substitutions to their essential oils, which lowers the efficacy, potency, and purity of the oil. On the other hand, some essential oil companies use thorough testing methods to ensure that the oils don’t contain any harmful substances or contaminants, and that they are as pure and high quality as possible. Just remember, not all distributers use testing to assure quality. Before you use essential oils in your cooking, it is important to know how they have been produced. Have the oils been carefully harvested and distilled? Have they been tested for possible contaminants or harmful substances? If you plan to use essential oils for cooking, it is best to use high quality, thoroughly tested oils that can provide you with the best results.
dōTERRA® uses the CPTG process to ensure that essential oils are safe to use. During several rounds of rigorous testing, essential oils are closely examined to ensure that they don’t contain any contaminants or harmful substances. To see each oils purity, quality and testing go to sourcetoyou.com

I do really enjoy adding the doTERRA essential oils while cooking, baking, or my beverages. I've been using the lime oil in the guacamole dip, really enhances the flavors. I did get to try the ice cube recipe that was so nice to add that extra fruity flavor infused water. The strawberry lemon yogurt bark was a delicious cool treat to have during the hot weather.
