Lemon balm brings a bright and zesty note to any dish.
MELISSA OFFICINALIS
DESCRIPTION
Transform your culinary creations with the tangy flavor of lemon balm. This versatile herb brings a bright and zesty note to any dish, elevating its taste and aroma to new heights. Perfect for salads, soups, sauces, and more, lemon balm is the ideal ingredient for chefs who want to add a touch of zing to their recipes.
Lemon balm can be harvested any time after the plant has developed an aroma. Rub the light green leaves for a hint of lemon scent. Use in bouquets to lemon scent a room or brew an invigorating medicinal tea.
Lemon balm’s peak scent and flavor appear when you see the first flower buds forming. Prune the plants by two-thirds once the flowers have faded to encourage the growth of new leaves.
