Lemongrass is an important culinary herb in tropical Asia (in India it is cultivated as a medical herb and for perfumes, but not used as a spice). Lemongrass has a light, refreshing, lemony flavor without the bitterness that lemon rind can have and with a hint of ginger. It is a staple in Thai cuisine, used to flavor soups, fish, seafood stews, curry and sauces. It is also an important flavoring in Vietnam, Cambodia and Indonesia, being used with poultry, fish and seafood dishes.
The main constituent of both species of lemongrass, citral, has a refreshing, lemony smell is also a strong, cleansing antiseptic.
Growing info about Lemongrass
Growing info about Lemongrass
Lemongrass thrives in hot, steamy climates. The time for growing lemongrass outdoors is similar to the timing for tomato planting—when night temperatures are in the 50s, it's time to plant. Lemongrass is very frost sensitive, so if you plan to overwinter the plant indoors in pots, bring it inside before temperatures drop into the 40s.
In our garden, we propagate lemongrass from the store-bought variety, cutting off the top and bottom of the stalk, we soak the lemongrass in water for weeks until roots appear and then we plant outside in grow bags.
We mainly harvest the leaves of the lemongrass for tea, waiting until the end of the growing season to harvest the whole plant.
