Lemon grass is a stalky plant with a lemony scent that grows in many tropical climates, most notably in Southeast-Asia. A common ingredient in Thai cooking, lemon grass provides a zesty lemon flavor and aroma to many Thai dishes. Lemon juice (or lime) may be substituted for lemon grass in a pinch.
Our Organic Lemon grass is a great way to add that lemony freshness to cooking and create an authentic feel. The lemony flavor of organic lemon grass combines well with the ginger-garlic mix that is the backbone of most Asian cuisines. Most of the flavor is in the thicker bulb end, which can be added whole to dishes, or peeled, then crushed or chopped. They are used to flavor Thai curries and hot-sour Thai soups and are also an essential ingredient of Thai currying pastes.
