Description
Fresh Lemongrass - 500 g
Lemongrass, botanically named Cymbopogon citratus, is a fresh herb with a characteristic citrus scent and a soft, slightly sweet taste that distinguishes it from common lemon. The plant is particularly widespread in Asian cuisine, where it serves as an important flavour enhancer in a wide range of dishes. The package contains fresh stalks with a net weight of 500 g, providing an ample amount for several preparations. Preparation is simple: the outer layers are removed, and only the lower, softer part of the stalk is used. The stalks can be finely chopped or thinly sliced and added directly to the dish during cooking. Lemongrass is excellent for hot soups like Tom Yum, green curries, stir-fries, and various sauces, where it contributes a fresh and slightly citrusy aroma. In addition to cooking, lemongrass can also be used to brew a refreshing herbal tea with a natural lemon flavour. The taste is described as mild and aromatic with a pleasant sweetness that elevates both Asian and exotic dishes. The texture of the fresh stalk is firm and fibrous, but the inner part is softer and easier to work with. The product is packed in a transparent plastic bag that preserves freshness. Lemongrass is naturally gluten-free, vegan, and vegetarian, making it suitable for many different dietary preferences. It is ideal for food enthusiasts who want to experiment with authentic Asian flavour experiences at home. Fresh lemongrass can be stored in a cool place to extend its shelf life and best preserve its aroma.
