Are you ready for some secret ingredients that have added health benefits, bursts of incredible flavors, and NEVER expire? YES! Hold onto your apron and let's get cookin' friends...
Dietary Essential Oils
Essential oils can be for more than just aromatherapy?
First things first. NOT ALL BRANDS ARE THE SAME. Actually, all brands are different than what I am talking about. There is only one company in the world offering a Seed to Seal® standard. So please do not try this with any brand other than Young Living Essential Oils (YLEO).
Which oils are the ones that are safe to take internally or cook with? In the US, this is super simple, there is an entire line of them called Vitality™ Dietary Essential Oils. Vitality Oils are FDA approved and labeled for internal use and they are just what you need to add elevated flavor to your recipes.
