Did you know?

Lemongrass is by far the World’s most flavourful and beneficial grass and is a primary culinary herb in several types of Asian cuisine.

It is a popular misconception that Lemongrass must taste very similar to lemon. However, Lemongrass has a flavour profile all of its own. While it is citrusy with a lemony flavour, it tastes almost like a mix of lemon and lemon mint. The flavour is quite light and does not overpower other flavours in a dish. It also adds a slightly sharp and tangy taste without the bitterness of lemon.

Take care of your Lemongrass

Keep your pack of Lemongrass in your fridge until you have used it all, or when home put the stalks into a glass of shallow water and place it near a sunny window.
