Lemongrass is a wonderfully aromatic ingredient that delivers a clean, lemony flavour with subtle herbal notes. It’s widely used in Thai, Vietnamese and Malaysian cooking, prized for the way it adds both freshness and depth to soups, curries, marinades and teas. Our Greenfields Lemongrass offers convenience and versatility, whether you’re infusing broths, grinding it into pastes, or simply steeping it for a soothing tea. Its ability to cut through rich and spicy flavours makes it a must-have in any adventurous kitchen.

Here are 10 ways to use it in modern cooking:

1. Simmer in Thai green curry for citrus fragrance.

2. Add to Vietnamese pho broth for a fresh lift.

3. Infuse into coconut milk for creamy seafood dishes.

4. Use in marinades for chicken or prawns before grilling.

5. Blend into curry pastes with garlic, ginger and chillies.

6. Brew into a calming herbal tea with a hint of ginger.

7. Stir into stir-fried vegetables for a fragrant finish.

8. Use in salad dressings with lime and fish sauce.

9. Add to slow-cooked beef or lamb stews for a lighter edge.

10. Pair with lemongrass sugar syrup in cocktails or mocktails.

Extra product tips
Bruise lemongrass stalks before cooking to release maximum flavour. If using in soups or stews, leave the stalk whole and remove before serving. For marinades and pastes, finely chop or grind.
