Lemon Grass

Rich in antioxidants and essential oils, lemongrass is commonly used to add a refreshing taste to soups, curries, seafood dishes, and beverages. It is also valued for its potential health benefits, including aiding digestion, reducing inflammation, and promoting relaxation. Fresh lemongrass is best known for its crisp texture and strong aroma. The lower white portion of the stalk is usually used in cooking, while the leaves are often steeped in teas or broths. Its bright flavor pairs well with ginger, garlic, chili, and coconut-based dishes.
