Thyme Lemon is a delightful herb revered for its vibrant citrusy aroma and flavor. This herb is a cultivar of the thyme plant and is celebrated for its unique combination of the classic earthy, herbal notes of thyme with a refreshing lemony twist.
The leaves are small, oval-shaped, and typically feature a lush green color. When touched or crushed, these leaves emit a strong and invigorating fragrance that instantly evokes the bright, zesty scent of lemon. This characteristic citrus aroma is what distinguishes lemon thyme from other thyme varieties, making it a sought-after herb in culinary and garden settings alike.
In terms of flavor, this thyme offers a delightful blend of savory, slightly minty undertones inherent to thyme, coupled with a distinct citrus tang reminiscent of fresh lemon. This unique profile makes it a versatile and appealing addition to various culinary creations
