Lemon Myrtle

Lemon Myrtle (Backhousia citriodora) is a native Australian plant valued for its fresh citrus aroma and naturally occurring plant compounds. Traditionally used by Indigenous Australians, lemon myrtle leaves contain high levels of citral, a naturally occurring compound responsible for its distinctive lemon flavour and scent. Lemon Myrtle is commonly used in teas, wellness products and wholefood formulations, and has become increasingly popular as a natural Australian botanical ingredient in health and lifestyle products.
