Lemon thyme

Thyme with a hint of lemon

Lemon Thyme - Product photo

Lemon thyme is one of the many varieties of thyme. Use it if the taste of thyme needs to be a little bit fresher. Its taste can be described as spicy, savory, slightly floral and – needless to say – lemony. The specific character is particularly evident with chicken and in fruit salads. Lemon thyme only releases its intense aroma when the leaves are crushed.

It originated as a cross between two thyme varieties. It grows on low shrubs of about 20 centimeters high, with gray-green leaves that are light white underneath.

Recipes & preparation tips

Thyme is a must-have in the kitchen, and the same goes for lemon thyme to a lesser extent. Suggest it to your customers if they are after a taste that is a little fresher than regular thyme. Its uses are varied, for example, in Mediterranean dishes or as a companion for chicken. Lemon thyme herbal tea is a popular hot drink. Just rinse the sprigs and remove the leaves. After crushing the leaves, they can infuse a dish while cooking.
