FAQ
Q: Is it safe to eat lavender essential oil?
A: Only food-grade, ingestible lavender essential oil should be used. Always read the label carefully before cooking with it.
Q: Can I substitute dried lavender for essential oil?
A: Yes, but the flavor will be milder. Use 1 tsp dried culinary lavender buds, finely ground, for every 1 drop of oil.
Q: What does lavender taste like in food?
A: It has a floral, slightly sweet, and herbal note — similar to rosemary but more delicate. When used correctly, it's calming and aromatic, not soapy.
