Other names: sweet rush, citronnelle, Vervain des Indes.
Appearance: Lemongrass has pale yellow-white stems with thick, swollen bases that are commonly used in cooking.
Typically used: Whole, cut & dried, or fresh
Origin: Lemongrass thrives in tropical climates, with varieties found across Asia, Australia, Africa, and even Nepal. While its exact origins are unclear, it’s believed to have first grown in parts of Asia, including Thailand, Cambodia, and Vietnam. Lemongrass reached Europe in the 17th century, where it became popular for its refreshing scent and natural insect-repellent properties. This led to its use in perfumes, soaps, and lotions—a tradition that continues today, especially in France, where it remains a key ingredient in the perfume industry. Both culinary and medicinal, lemongrass has a rich, versatile history!
Flavor: Lemongrass has a wonderfully unique aroma and flavor. It combines floral notes with a slightly sweet, tangy taste, and—unsurprisingly—a hint of lemon, along with a touch of ginger. Its light, delicate flavor enhances dishes without overwhelming other ingredients, making it a perfect addition to a variety of recipes. Whether you're cooking soups, curries, or teas, lemongrass adds a subtle yet refreshing twist!
Aroma: lemon-like, floral, sweet
Culinary uses:
Lemongrass is often finely chopped or pounded to soften its tough stalks. Once prepared, it can be added to marinades or grilled meats, bringing a sweet, citrusy flavor. It's also perfect for adding a bright, zesty kick to curry pastes and simple sauces! Lemongrass is a versatile ingredient commonly found in many Asian dishes, and it offers a variety of culinary uses:
Flavoring
Lemongrass brings a bright, aromatic flavor to soups, stews, curries, and marinades. Its lemony taste pairs especially well with seafood and holds up even after long cooking times.
Tea
