Region & Habitat:
Lemongrass is native to South and Southeast Asia and is widely cultivated in tropical and subtropical climates.

It has been introduced into parts of Africa, the Caribbean, and Europe, where it is grown for culinary and aromatic use.
Traditional & Cultural Use:
Lemongrass has been used for generations in Thai, Indian, and Indonesian culinary traditions. It is commonly steeped as a herbal tea or added to soups, curries, and marinades for its lemon-like aroma. In Europe, dried lemongrass was introduced through spice and herbal trade in the 20th century and is now a common ingredient in herbal tea blends and natural flavouring products.
Preparation & Application:
Dried lemongrass is typically steeped in hot water for 5–7 minutes or simmered in broths and sauces. It may be used alone or blended with other herbs in tea, spice mixes, or aromatic crafts.

Long, slender leaves with a citrus aroma and clean, lemony flavour. The infusion is light-bodied with a crisp, refreshing finish.
