Lemongrass - How to Use Lemongrass in Your Cooking

Choose Your Fresh Lemongrass

Fresh Lemongrass Stalks

D.Schmidt

Avoid purchasing stalks that are loose and coming apart as well as stalks that are brown and crusty or crumbling. These are old and probably not that fragrant or nutritious any longer.

Tip: If you can't find lemongrass with the fresh produce, check the freezer section. Because lemongrass freezes well, it is often sold in frozen packets of about 6-8 stalks.
