Description

Grown by family farmers in Southern India, Lemongrass produces a smoky, citrus essential oil that offers a variety of benefits to the user. For years, Lemongrass has been used in Asian cuisine for soups, teas, and curries as well as with fish, poultry, beef, and seafood. Lemongrass is also purifying and toning,and is frequently used in skin care products for these benefits.

Primary Benefits

  • Can be used to add an invigorating flavour to a myriad of recipes from savoury dishes to sweet desserts.
  • Brightening to a room with its smoky, citrus aroma.

Uses

  • Use to flavour entrées and meat dishes.
  • Blend with Basil, Cardamom, or Spearmint.
  • Dilute oil, then rub or spritz on skin before going outside.

Cooking with Lemongrass

Essential oils are very potent compared to dry seasonings, spices, or other flavouring agents, so even the tiniest amount can add a serious blast of flavour to your dish. When using Lemongrass in cooking, it is best to use the toothpick method – dip the tip of a clean toothpick into the essential oil bottle and stir the toothpick into your ingredients. After you’ve stirred the toothpick around in the dish, do a taste test to see if additional oil should be added.
