The Wonders of Lemon Myrtle

Lemon Myrtle, often dubbed as “more lemon than Lemon,” is a native Australian rainforest tree. It’s known for its unique qualities and applications:

• Abundant Citral Content: Lemon Myrtle boasts a citral content exceeding 90%, making it the highest known in the plant kingdom. The essential oil derived from it is prized for its exquisite fragrance, reminiscent of lemongrass but with a sweeter note.
• Aromatic Aromatherapy: This essential oil finds its place in aromatherapy, offering a delightful and soothing scent for relaxation.
• Indigenous Heritage: Indigenous Australians have cherished Lemon Myrtle for over 40,000 years. They used it to flavor fish dishes by wrapping the leaves in paperbark and even to alleviate headaches by crushing and inhaling the leaves.
• Native Beauty: Lemon Myrtle graces the sub-tropical Queensland rainforests, growing up to 8 meters in height with striking dark green leaves and clusters of white flowers during the summer.
• Coastal Treasures: Besides Queensland, this citrusy gem can be found in coastal areas across Australia, including Victoria, South Australia, and New South Wales.

Exploring Lemon Myrtle
