• Lemongrass is a shrub-like herb with a distinct lemon aroma and flavor. It is native to the tropical regions of Asia and the Indian subcontinent. It's also relatively easy to grow in a home herb garden and is a nice plant for containers.
• Dried or fresh lemongrass is commonly used to make herbal teas and other drinks. When cooking with lemongrass, you can use fresh, dried, or powdered leaves. It is popular in many Asian cuisines and adds an intriguing flavor to soups and stews.
• This herb has a pungent lemony, herbaceous, and sweetly floral flavor that works well with both sweet and savory foods and beverages. Some people say that its aroma is reminiscent of citronella. This is no coincidence because the two plants are closely related.
• The stalks (leaf bases) of the plant are commonly used to flavor dishes in Southeast Asian cooking. The heart of young shoots may be cooked and consumed as a vegetable. The tougher leaves are used to flavor dishes but are typically removed before serving. Leaves may also be used to make lemon grass tea. The essential oil extracted from the leaves is commonly used in insect repellents, perfumes and soaps.
