About Lemon Bergamot (Monarda citriodora): Lemon bergamot is a fast-growing, annual herb reaching 60-90cm. When crushed the leaves have a fragrance reminiscent of lemons. Lemon bergamot comes from the mint family and may be called Lemon Bee Balm, Lemon Mint or Purple Horsemint, particularly in the United States. Lemon bergamot is drought tolerant and can tolerate a good deal of lime or alkaline soils. It grows naturally in the limestone barrens, slopes, and savannahs.
Lemon bergamot can be used to impart a subtle lemon flavor to dishes, especially desserts like cheesecakes, biscuits, cakes, and sauces. The flavor is also imparted in fish dishes, salads, dressings, teas, wines, and liqueurs. The flowers are edible and may be used decoratively as garnishes. The leaves can be chopped and placed in ice cubes for later use.
The essential oil in lemon bergamot is citronella and it is also rich in phenolic monoterpenes and thymol. This provides the plant with good anti-oxidant and antibacterial properties. It has been used medicinally for coughs, colds, fevers and respiratory ailments.
Color and taste can vary because it is a product which is dependent on seasonal fluctuations.
