Food To Live Dried Lemongrass Leaves - 2oz Cut Lemon Grass Herb For Cooking & Tea

About This Product

Alright, if you're into Thai, Indian, or Southeast Asian cooking, having dried lemongrass in your pantry is pretty much essential. This 2-ounce bag from Food to Live is perfect because it's 100% raw, vegan, and just pure lemongrass leaves with nothing else added. The flavor is this amazing citrusy, lemony taste with a subtle floral note that just makes dishes come alive. What's great about having the dried version is it lasts way longer than fresh lemongrass, so you always have it on hand when inspiration strikes. You can use it in so many ways - simmer it in soups like Tom Yum, add it to curry pastes, use it in marinades for chicken or fish, or even brew it into this incredibly refreshing tea. Speaking of tea, just steep a teaspoon or so in hot water for about 5-10 minutes and you've got this aromatic, soothing drink that's naturally caffeine-free. If you're substituting for fresh lemongrass, remember that 1 teaspoon of dried equals about 1 tablespoon of fresh. You can even grind it into powder if you want to use it as a seasoning rub. Storage is easy - just keep it in an airtight container in your pantry away from light and moisture. I love making lemongrass ginger iced tea with it during summer - so refreshing! Plus, lemongrass is actually good for you too - it's rich in antioxidants, vitamin C, and has various minerals. The bag is resealable which is handy for keeping it fresh between uses. Whether you're an experienced cook of Asian cuisines or just starting to experiment, this dried lemongrass will quickly become one of your go-to ingredients.
