About Lemongrass
Lemon grass (Cymbopogon citratus) is a versatile aromatic plant that stands tall as slender grass with long, green, and blade-like leaves. It's often recognized by its distinct lemony fragrance, which is derived from essential oils found in the leaves and stems. Its elegant foliage and bright, grassy look make it a practical and beautiful choice for gardeners.
Lemongrass is well-known for its many culinary and health uses. Its zesty, lemon-like flavor makes its leaves and stalks highly valued in the kitchen, where they are frequently used as a component in Asian, Thai, and Caribbean recipes. Soups, curries, stir-fries, and teas all benefit from the zesty scent and flavor that lemongrass adds to food. It contains essential oils that soothe upset stomachs, lower fevers, and enhance general health because of their possible anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and antibacterial qualities.
