Description

Lemongrass is known for its long, thin, gray-green leaves and scallion-like base, but the most unique trait of this plant is its engulfing lemon aroma. Perfect for making tea, or adding some zest to any dish, fresh lemongrass will have a slightly dry feel and have a white-to-brown lower stalk and become progressively pale gray-to-green towards the end. Lemongrass contains citral, an essential oil which gives the herb its “sour lemon” aroma and flavoring.
