Dried Lemon Leaves are obtained from the leaves of the lemon tree (Citrus limon), cultivated in Egypt. The leaves are carefully dried and shredded to preserve their natural botanical characteristics, distinctive herbal aroma, and naturally occurring plant compounds. Lemon leaves possess a pleasant, mildly citrus-like fragrance with fresh green and herbal notes. They naturally contain aromatic compounds, flavonoids, and other botanical constituents, making them a versatile ingredient for herbal preparations, botanical infusions, cosmetic formulations, and aromatic applications. Their convenient shredded form makes them suitable for preparing water-based botanical extracts, oil infusions, herbal blends, and handcrafted personal care products.
