Lemon thyme is a hybrid thyme (Citrus Thyme; hybrid T. pulegioides × T. vulgaris) is also a popular culinary herb, with cultivars selected with flavours of various Citrus fruit of which lemon is the commonest. The plant is native to southern Europe.
Like common thyme it is a herbaceous perennial from the Lamiaceae (mint) family. It is an aromatic small shrub growing to 40cm tall and the leaves have a distinct lemon note. Chopped lemon thyme leaves, stripped from the stalk makes a wonderful accompaniment to fish, chicken and turkey dishes. In small quantities lemon thyme also works well with shellfish.
The leaves of lemon thyme contain an essential oil that's rich in geraniol, with other compounds identified being geranyl esters, nerol and citronellol. It should be noted that the lemon fragrance of lemon thyme is due to the presence of citral.
The descriptive 'lemon' describes the characteristic scent of the leaves of this thyme. Whereas the English word thyme is derived from the Latin thymus, itself derived from the Greek thymon [θύμον], meaning 'thyme'.
Mixed with chopped basil, garlic, oregano and rosemary it can give a wonderful and different Mediterranean-style rub for chicken or strongly-flavoured fish before grilling or barbecuing.
