Lemongrass (Cymbopogon flexuosus) is known for its uplifting citrus scent and healthful properties. This lemongrass, Cymbopogon citratus, is organically cultivated in subtropical climates. It is traditionally used as a spice in Thai and Indian dishes. Dried lemongrass imparts subtle citrus notes to herbal tea blends, body care creations, culinary dishes, and can be steeped as lemongrass tea.

Universally used within tea blends for its flavor and aroma. Rarely seen in encapsulations or extracts, but equally as effective.

1 teaspoon of lemongrass powder equals one stalk of fresh lemongrass. Dried whole or cut lemongrass should be soaked for two hours in warm water before used in cooking.

Lemongrass is known to possibly help prevent the growth of some bacteria and yeast. It can be helpful for relieving pain and swelling, to reduce fever, to improve blood sugar and cholesterol levels, and is antioxidant.
