Lemongrass: A Versatile and Aromatic Herb

Known for its bright citrus aroma and beneficial properties, Cymbopogon citratus (lemongrass) is organically cultivated in subtropical climates. Widely used in Thai, Indian, and Indonesian cuisines, dried lemongrass adds subtle citrus notes to herbal tea blends, body care products, and a variety of culinary dishes. It can also be steeped into a soothing lemongrass tea.

Lemongrass grows naturally in regions like Indonesia, Indochina, and tropical Australia, and has been cultivated in Southeast Asia and India for centuries as a culinary and medicinal herb. Also called “fever grass,” lemongrass belongs to the Poaceae family and has a lemony fragrance with a hint of rose.

A common addition to tea blends for its flavor and aroma, lemongrass is less frequently found in capsules or extracts but remains an effective herb.

Usage Tips

• 1 teaspoon of lemongrass powder equals one fresh stalk.
• Soak dried lemongrass in warm water for two hours before cooking to rehydrate.

Precautions
