It is used as both a medicinal plant and a culinary seasoning. Used primarily as an aromatic herb in cooking, its dark-green colored leaves have a strong lemon scent, which is most potent just before flowering.
It is used in small portions due to its intense flavor and goes well with stews, potatoes, eggs, deli meats, pickles and all types of sauces.
El tomillo limón es originario de la cuenca mediterránea.
