Lemon Myrtle

Introducing our Lemon Myrtle, a vibrant burst of Australian citrus in a convenient ground-leaf form. Lemon Myrtle (Backhousia citriodora) is native to the subtropical rainforests of coastal Queensland, growing naturally from the Mackay region down to south-east Queensland. Its glossy leaves are renowned for their intense citrus aroma, often described as "more lemon than lemon," bringing a fresh, distinctly Australian zing to your kitchen.

Flavour Notes Lemon Myrtle delivers a bright, powerful lemon flavour with notes of lemongrass and lime. A smooth, slightly creamy sweetness rounds it out, finishing with a gentle herbal freshness and none of the acidity of fresh citrus.

Uses This versatile, all-natural ingredient lifts both sweet and savoury dishes. Add it to cakes, biscuits and cheesecakes, infuse it into cream, syrups or butter, or steep it as a refreshing caffeine-free tea. It pairs beautifully with fish, chicken, prawns, rice and fresh fruit, and adds a citrusy twist to marinades, dressings and cocktails. Being acid-free, it can also be added to dairy without curdling.
