Asparagus is simple to cook and is a great source of fiber, folate, copper, iron, calcium, and vitamins (A, B6, C, E, K). Another way to enhance its nutritional benefits is by adding food-grade, pure essential oils which not only enhances the flavor but also provides a health boost. I add essential oils in my recipes so that my family can experience the natural health benefits of the plants that go into the essential oils.

Benefits of Adding Lemon Essential Oil to Recipes

My Lemon Asparagus With Parmesan and Lemon Essential Oil recipe is an adaptation from a dōTERRA one. Lemon Essential Oil adds a bright, citrus flavor that complements the rest of the ingredients. Beyond flavor, Lemon Essential Oil aids in digestion, supports healthy respiratory function, and provides immune system support, especially during seasonal changes.* The high limonene content found in this essential oil makes it a powerful antioxidant and cleanses the body from the inside.

Not All Essential Oils Are Safe to Consume

Not all essential oils are created equal, and not all essential oils are safe to ingest. Some companies use synthetic fillers to keep costs down, and these additives can be harmful to your body. Companies may even label their bottles as pure, but because there is no FDA regulation for essential oils this cannot be validated. The only way to validate purity is through independent third-party lab testing.

As such, I only trust dōTERRA essential oils which are Certified Pure Therapeutic Grade^® oils. This means that dōTERRA oils go through a process which certifies that there are no added fillers, synthetic ingredients, or harmful contaminants that would reduce their efficacy. They use independent third-party labs to test each batch. You can even track the testing results and source of every bottle they make. As such, I only recommend dōTERRA’s essential oils because I can verify they’re 100% pure. When it comes to my family, I’m not going to risk their health by using any other brand.
