Description
Lemon Myrtle might just be one of the best known Australian Native plants.
The Lemon Myrtle is a rainforest tree. Not just a perfect cooking addition, the leaves are also the purest source of natural citral (90-98%) making lemon myrtle a powerful essential oil. It has a refreshing clean citrus aroma and taste and goes in just about everything. Dubbed the ‘Queen of the Herbs’ she is more lemony than a lemon will ever be.
Our Lemony Myrtle comes dried and ground in a 50g resealable bag.
