HIGH Lemon balm / lemongrass Back to Fruits and vegetables Native to southern Europe, lemon balm is also known as "lemon balm" because of the lemon scent its leaves give off. It extracts essential oils that are used for medicinal purposes, but also as perfume, deodorant cream and insecticide. Fresh or dried, lemon balm is used to flavor bitter foods and is used in the manufacture of liqueurs such as Benedictine and Chartreuse. Culinary tips and tricks Lemon balm accompanies Indian curries, soups and sauces. It seasons mixed salads, omelets, rice, fish, pastries, fruit salads, compotes and fruit juices. In Spain, it is used to flavor milk, sauces and soups. Lemon balm is added at the very last minute, as its aroma wears off quickly.
