Lemongrass Flake

Grown for thousands of years in Asia, lemongrass has been valued both as a flavoring agent and an insect repellant. It thrives primarily in tropical regions where a lemon tree would struggle to grow. With high citral levels, similar to those found in lemon rind, lemongrass offers a citrusy, peppery, and refreshing flavor that remains robust even during cooking.

Key Features:

• Resilient flavor: Does not break down with cooking.
• Convenient powder form: Dissolves easily in dishes, eliminating the need to remove fresh lemongrass before serving.
• Versatile usage: Suggested for Asian curries, soups, and stir-fries.

Suggested Uses:

• Measurement: One teaspoon of powder is roughly equivalent to one stalk of fresh lemongrass.
• Cooking tip: Pair with fats like coconut milk to extract its oil-based flavor compounds.
• Substitution: Use in place of lemon peel for a unique twist in recipes.
