Guidelines for Cooking with Young Living Essential Oils
Essential oils are different from common vegetable oils such as olive, flax, sesame, or canola oils. While both have benefits, cooking with essential oils can be a healthy alternative in flavoring foods and beverages.
Key differences between essential oils and vegetable oils:
- Vegetable oils contain glycerol, which leaves a greasy residue when applied to the skin and creates a slippery surface (i.e. in the pan); essentials oils do not create a slippery surface (unless mixed with vegetable oil)
- Vegetable oils are 100% fat; essential oils contain no fat.
- Vegetable oils are primarily pressed from seeds and nuts, like avocados, olives or the bran of grains
- Pure essential oils are steam distilled from plants (with the exception of citrus oils which are cold-pressed)
The following Young Living essential oils are frequently used in recipes: lemon, orange, nutmeg, black pepper, peppermint, ginger, sage, tangerine, lemongrass, grapefruit, fennel, spearmint, cinnamon bark, oregano, clove, and basil, among others. See the GRAS List (pdf) or the GRAS list below (Generally Regarded As Safe) to learn which Young Living essential oils can be ingested. Be sure to see the "How to Use" page for more information.
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 Young Living's essential oils is that Young Living 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!
