Lemongrass is a tall, stalky perennial grass native to the tropical regions of Asia. It is a cornerstone of Southeast Asian cuisine, prized for the fresh, citrusy flavor of its stalks. The plant contains a high concentration of citral, an essential oil compound responsible for its signature lemon scent and many of its therapeutic benefits, including its antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory effects.

Lemongrass is a refreshing and uplifting herb in Ayurveda, known for its ability to reduce Kapha and Vata doshas. It is traditionally used to stimulate digestion, relieve flatulence, and promote perspiration to help break a fever. Its light, sharp qualities make it an excellent choice for invigorating the mind and body. In skincare, its antiseptic and astringent properties make it ideal for oily and acne-prone skin.
● For an Invigorating Herbal Tea: Steep 1 tsp of Lemongrass powder in hot water for 5 minutes. Strain and enjoy as a refreshing, digestive beverage. It pairs beautifully with ginger.
● For a Purifying Facial Steam: Add 1-2 tsp of the powder to a bowl of hot water. Use the steam to open pores and deeply cleanse the skin.
● For Culinary Use: Add the powder to soups, curries, and marinades to impart a fresh, zesty flavor.
We source vibrant, aromatic Lemongrass from farms in Southern India, ensuring the stalks are harvested at their peak for maximum essential oil content.
The fresh stalks are carefully dried at low temperatures and then milled into a fine powder, preserving their delightful fragrance and purifying properties.
