THE AUSTRALIAN SUPERFOOD CO LEMON MYRTLE
The Lemon Myrtle, a captivating Australian shrub, has been an integral part of Indigenous Australian practices, with its leaves serving diverse purposes. Whether used fresh, dried, or extracted through distillation, Lemon Myrtle has been a traditional flavoring agent and healing oil, boasting notable antioxidant and mineral properties, elevated levels of Vitamin C, and a rich antimicrobial oil content. Recognized for its strong and pure natural citral, providing the distinctive “lemon” flavor, Lemon Myrtle stands as one of Australia’s most popular native herbs. With a fresh citrus aroma, delicate menthol undertones, and a sweet and refreshing lemon flavor, it contains the most concentrated source of plant citral (>90%), possessing potent antimicrobial and antifungal properties surpassing even the renowned tea tree oil. Beyond its culinary appeal, Lemon Myrtle is an exceptional vegan source of calcium and a rich source of lutein, crucial for eye health and combating age-related macular degeneration. Its antioxidant-rich composition provides comprehensive protection against oxidative stress, surpassing the blueberry in antioxidant capacity. Additionally, Lemon Myrtle is an excellent source of folate, Vitamin A, Vitamin E, zinc, and magnesium, essential for DNA synthesis and repair. Traditionally utilized as a medicinal herb for alleviating headaches, Lemon Myrtle is a multifaceted botanical treasure.
