Cooking with Essential Oils
Having essential oils in your pantry is like having a herb garden in constant
full bloom, except the access is easier. Essential oils perfectly capture the
essence of the living plant, in both aroma and flavor. With the exception of
citrus oils, which need to be stored in the refrigerator, essences can be kept
for years in a cabinet ready for use.
Being concentrated, essential oils contain virtually all the plant's healing
nutrients, oxygenating molecules, amino acid precursors, co-enzymes, vitamins,
hormones, and more. And, because they are so concentrated, essential oils are
50-70 times more therapeutically potent than herbs. Essential oils provide
natural preventative care with their antibiotic and other medicinal properties,
as well as having a psychological effect.
Never use an essential oils that is not
therapeutic grade as it will be harmful.
An edible essential oil will be labeled "therapeutic-grade" and have a
"Supplement Facts" box on the label showing the nutritional value - do NOT use
just any brand of essential oil for cooking/flavoring foods.
Be sure to use pure oils from reliable sources, not synthetic scents or
flavorings. Absolutes are never used int he kitchen because of the solvent
residues that may be left as a by-product of the extraction process. It is wise
to use those essential oils that you think of as food.
Essential oils are very potent. One drop equals about 1 tablespoon of
dried herb.
Nothing is more important than dosage. Experiment, but be conservative until you
get the feel for how essential oils flavor food. Start with one drop and go from
there. As Elaine Pinar says, "If the recipe calls for 1 teaspoon, I rub the edge
of the bottle stopper on a piece of carrot or other chunky veggie. One-half
teaspoon would likely be about what would stick on the end of a toothpick. Since
everyone's taste is different you'll want to do the taste test."
Add essential oil towards the end of cooking as high heat will destroy
the therapeutic benefits.
Making your own flavoring extracts is easy, economical and a good way to reduce
dosage. Use olive oil for savory extracts. Start with 5 drops of essential oil
per ounce of carrier oil. Adjust to suit your taste.
