Collection: Lemon Grass - Cymbopogon - Edibles

Lemongrass (Cymbopogon) is a tropical plant known for its fresh, citrusy flavor and fragrance. It's widely used in cooking, especially in Southeast Asian cuisine, including Thai, Vietnamese, and Indonesian dishes. Its leaves are tall and slender, and they have a strong lemon flavor, which is why it's often used in teas, soups, curries, marinades, and sauces.

The most common species used for culinary purposes is Cymbopogon citratus, which is sometimes referred to as "West Indian lemongrass." It can be used fresh, or dried and crushed to make powders or teas.
