🍋 Lemon Myrtle: The Citrus Jewel of Australian Native Flavors.

Lemon Myrtle (Backhousia citriodora) is a native Australian plant cherished for its vibrant lemon aroma 🌿 and versatile applications in both culinary and medicinal contexts.

Native to the subtropical rainforests of Queensland and New South Wales, this remarkable botanical has been integral to Indigenous Australian culture for thousands of years.

🌿 Traditional Indigenous Uses

For over 40,000 years, Indigenous Australians have utilized Lemon Myrtle in various ways:

  • Culinary Enhancer: leaves were wrapped in paperbark to impart a citrus flavour to fish dishes.
  • Medicinal Remedy: crushed leaves were inhaled to alleviate headaches, and infusions were used as antiseptics for wounds and infections.
  • Insect Repellent: burning the leaves produced a smoke that acted as a natural insect deterrent.

🍴 Modern Culinary Applications

Today, Lemon Myrtle is celebrated for its intense lemon flavor 🍋, often described as "lemonier than lemon."
