Organic Lemon Verbena

Lemon verbena is an herb native to South America, known for its strong lemon scent and flavor. It is typically grown for its aromatic leaves, which are used fresh or dried.

Lemon verbena is primarily used as a flavoring agent in foods and beverages, especially teas and herbal infusions. Its bright, citrusy notes can also be used in baked goods, desserts, and marinades.

In the U.S., lemon verbena is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) for its intended use as a food flavoring. Regulatory bodies like EFSA have evaluated lemon verbena and found it safe for consumption when used as a flavoring. Research into its specific health effects at typical dietary intake levels is ongoing, but it is not associated with significant health concerns.
