Lemongrass - 5 Pcs

Thailand

To keep lemongrass fresh and flavorful for as long as possible, it's important to store it properly. Trim off the root end and any dry or yellow leaves. Store lemongrass in the refrigerator in a plastic bag or airtight container. Lemongrass can be stored in the refrigerator for up to two weeks. When you're ready to use lemongrass, remove the outer layer and finely chop the tender inner stalks.

Lemongrass is a minor source of potassium to balance fluid levels within the body, calcium to build strong bones and teeth, vitamin C to strengthen the immune system, and vitamin A to maintain healthy organ functioning. The stalks also provide low amounts of manganese, folate, magnesium, iron, zinc, and phosphorus and contain antioxidants to protect the cells against the damage caused by free radicals. In addition to vitamins and minerals, Lemongrass is incorporated into natural medicines to flush the body of toxins and excess water, relieve headaches, and relax the mind. Lemongrass is commonly seen in Ayurvedic treatments and is viewed as a cooling herb, consumed in drinks, inhaled as aromatherapy, or extracted for its oil and mixed with lotions and creams for topical applications.
