Lemon Myrtle

Lemon Myrtle might just be one of the best known Australian Native plants and for good reason.

The Lemon Myrtle is a rainforest tree. Not just a perfect cooking addition, the leaves are also the purest source of natural citral (90-98%) making lemon myrtle a powerful essential oil. It has a refreshing clean citrus aroma and taste and goes in just about everything. Dubbed the ‘Queen of the Herbs’ she is more lemony than a lemon will ever be.

    Recipes

    This spice is featured in these recipes in Warndu Mai:

    Our products are all made in Australia from 100% locally sourced, seasonal and wild harvested produce.

    Warndu means good in the Adnyamathanha language. 

    Our mission is to REGENERATE culture, community, tradition, health and our soils. Every product we make includes one or more Australian Native ingredients. 

    In our efforts to be zero waste and plastic free, and with the changes to recycling in Australia, we will be phasing out all plastic bags. For now you may receive your spices, teas and home products in either black, white or clear plastic, and once that is all gone our amazing new compostable plant-based packaging will be what you will receive products in.
    Thanks for your patience and understanding whilst we endeavour to tread lightly on your yarta (land).

    To maintain Warndu taste we keep smaller quantities on hand of our Australian Natives, it takes us a little while to dry, roast or grind them to make. We aim to send all orders within ten days of receiving them.
