Wildhorse Homestead Lemon Myrtle Powder
Grown, harvested and dried by hand on our family farm in the beautiful Mary Valley, our Lemon Myrtle Powder is one of the most versatile native ingredients in the Australian pantry.
At Wildhorse Homestead, we believe food should be grown in harmony with nature. Our Lemon Myrtle is cultivated using regenerative farming principles that focus on building healthy soils, encouraging biodiversity and working with the natural rhythms of the land. We avoid synthetic sprays and fertilisers, instead nurturing our plants through natural growing methods that support both the environment and the quality of the harvest.
Known as the "Queen of the Lemon Herbs," Lemon Myrtle delivers a fresh citrus flavour that is sweeter, more aromatic and more complex than traditional lemon. With notes of lemon sherbet, citrus blossom and fresh rainforest leaves, it brings a uniquely Australian flavour to both sweet and savoury dishes.
Finely ground into a versatile powder, it blends effortlessly into baking, desserts, spice rubs, marinades, herbal teas, smoothies and wellness tonics. Harvested from trees grown on our Mary Valley homestead and processed in small batches to ensure freshness, flavour and quality, every packet captures the essence of the Australian bush.
Each leaf is carefully harvested, dried and milled on the homestead to preserve its natural oils, vibrant flavour and uplifting citrus aroma, bringing a taste of the Australian bush directly to your kitchen.
