Lemongrass (Cymbopogon citratus) is a tall perennial grass from the Poaceae family, native to tropical and subtropical Asia and widely cultivated throughout tropical regions worldwide. The plant is recognized for its long, slender, aromatic stalks with a characteristically fresh, bright citrus scent. Lemongrass is one of the most widely used culinary botanicals in Southeast Asian, Caribbean, and Indian cuisines, lending a distinctive lemon-citrus flavor to soups, curries, stir-fries, and beverages. The dried cut and sifted herb is also used in herbal tea blends, potpourri, and aromatic botanical preparations.
