Botanical Name: Aloysia citriodora

Origin: Portugal
Production: Lemon verbena is a flowering plant native to western South America, though it now grows in many parts of the world. It is a perennial shrub that is harvested when the leaves are at their optimum flavor, just when the sprays of tiny purple/white flowers are beginning to open in the late spring or early summer.
Qualities: Lemon verbena's intense, crisp, minty-citrus like scent, considered to be the strongest of the lemon-scented plants, is quite powerful when harvested fresh, and more subtle when dried.
Common Use: The potential culinary uses of lemon verbena are broad and range from ice cream flavoring to a pepper or oregano substitute. Due to the potency of its flavor, it is recommended to start out using a little and add more as desired. In savory dishes, it goes well with black pepper, rosemary, and sage. Dried lemon verbena can also be encapsulated or made into a tincture. Cosmetically it can be used in soaps, lotions, shampoos, salves, or in herbal sachets.
Storage: Store in a cool, dark, dry place in an airtight container.
Safety: We recommend that you consult with a qualified healthcare practitioner before using any herbal products, particularly if you are pregnant, nursing, or on any medications.

No flavour on the recent batch of lemon verbena.

I love every product I have received from Om foods over the years as the quality is always exceptional. Sadly I did not feel the same about the Lemon Verbena I recently purchased. I felt like it had no flavour at all which is very disappointing, as I was really looking forward to the powerful scent of this herb.

Lemon verbena

I bought the lemon verbena as an experiment to add to a face scrub. I thought it would have a stronger scent than it does. Perhaps an oil would work better for my project. The dried lemon verbena from essential organics was good quality and mostly free from stems.
