Lemongrass is a staple in Southeast Asian cuisine, particularly in Thai and Vietnamese cooking, lending a characteristic lemony flavor to soups, curries, and seafood.
The distinctive lemony scent of lemongrass is primarily due to citral, a compound also found in lemons and limes that makes up approximately 65 to 85 percent of the oil.
The lemongrass plant can reach an impressive height of up to 1.5 meters, forming dense clumps with long, thin, grass-like leaves that release their characteristic aroma when rubbed.
