Herbs in pots - Lemon thyme

Having herbs in terracotta pots on your kitchen windowsill is an excellent way of always having fresh herbs handy for your cooking.

In cooking, lemon thyme (Thymus citriodorus) delivers the best of both worlds. It has a soft herbal thyme flavour along with a subtle essence of lemon, all without any of the bitterness we sometimes get from regular thyme. It pairs well in everything from salads and vegetable dishes, to meat, and fish.

Lemon thyme is also used for the following :
  • relieving muscle spasms
  • has anti-aging properties
  • immune system
  • easing digestion
  • easing a tight chest
  • constant coughing
  • relieving asthma
  • promotes relaxation
  • laryngitis
  • gastritis
