description Lemongrass Overview

Lemongrass (Cymbopogon citratus) is a tropical perennial grass native to South and Southeast Asia, where it has been cultivated for culinary and medicinal purposes for centuries. The plant grows in dense clumps reaching heights of 1-2 meters, with long, slender, pale green stalks and bulbous bases that contain essential oils rich in citral, geraniol, and other aromatic compounds. In culinary applications, the lower portion of the stalk is typically used fresh, dried, or powdered in Southeast Asian cuisines, particularly Thai, Vietnamese, Cambodian, and Indonesian dishes. It is a common ingredient in soups (such as tom yum), curries, marinades, and teas.
