From Southeast Asia comes a native grass with a unique, fragrant, lemony flavor and aroma that has traveled the world to take root in most every culture. Lemon grass delights the palate with its stimulating citrusy zest accented by a hint of ginger and some people detect a wee bit of mint. Its heady essential oil wafts into your senses from a hot cup of tea to create a calming and relaxing ambiance. Being naturally caffeine free, lemon grass tea can be enjoyed both hot or iced any time of the day.
The many uses or lemon grass include flavoring soups, stews, salad dressings, dipping sauces, stir-fries, marinades, smoothies, cocktails and mocktails. Thai and Vietnamese cuisines feature lemon grass in many renowned recipes like curries, grilled meats and soups.
Worldwide Botanicals lemon grass comes from small holder family farmers in India where it is organically grown in a sustainable manner. As a member of the perennial grass family, lemon grass plants can be planted amongst other crops where its essential oil helps keep pests away. The dried and chopped lemon grass leaves retain their essential oil until it is released for your enjoyment!
