Lime essential oil is the kitchen citrus of the dōTERRA range, for those who love bright flavours. It is cold-pressed from the peel of fresh limes grown in Brazil, and keeps the aroma of the fruit, tangy and sharp: a single drop flavours a whole dish.
In the kitchen, one drop is enough: in a homemade salsa or guacamole for extra zing, in a salad dressing, or in a tall glass of iced water with a few slices of fruit on a hot day. Diffused, its rich citrus aroma transforms the atmosphere of a room. On a cloth, it removes grease spots and sticky residue from surfaces.
Lime zest always within reach, from the kitchen to the cleaning.
- Cold-pressed from the peel to preserve the delicacy of its aroma.
- Flavours savoury recipes and desserts with a tangy, sharp taste.
- One drop in your water for the day gives it a fresh citrus flavour.
- Its rich citrus aroma, fresh and stimulating, creates a balanced and energising atmosphere.
- Cleans surfaces and removes sticky residue and grease.
