Thyme Lemon

Lemon Thyme looks and grows like Thyme abut that is where the similarity stops. Lemon thyme is a compact, upright shrub. The leaves are tiny and heart shaped, ringed with a splash of yellow. Lemon thyme has a bit of a citrus tang, but is milder than most other thyme. This makes it a natural choice for seasoning seafood dishes and even sweets. The citrus flavour also helps to lighten fatty dishes. The natural, volatile oils also work as a digestive aid.
