Ginger essential oil is the warm spice of the dōTERRA range, for gingerbread as well as savoury dishes. It is distilled from fresh rhizomes, shortly after harvest in Madagascar and Kenya, whereas many oils are made from dried ginger: it takes up to 900 g of rhizome to fill one bottle, and that concentration shows from the first drop.
In the kitchen, one drop replaces fresh or ground ginger in a banana bread, a tart or a savoury recipe, and, mixed with a drop of Lemon and some honey in hot water, it makes a spiced drink. Its aroma is at once warm, soothing and energising: on a long car journey, a diluted drop in the palms can be inhaled. Diluted in a carrier oil, it accompanies a relaxing massage of the lower abdomen or a warm bath.
A kitchen spice first, and an aroma that travels well.
- Distilled from fresh rather than dried rhizomes, for a fuller aromatic profile.
- Gives water and recipes a spicy, earthy taste.
- Replaces fresh or ground ginger in gingerbread, biscuits and tarts.
