Lemon Grass is one of the most important spice herbs in the Asian kitchen. Two varieties are agriculturally cultivated in South East Asia and India, C. Citratus and C. Flexuosus. The East-Indian Lemon Grass probably comes from Cambodia or Sri Lanka and is - although it's exactly equal in use - more often cultivated as a supplier for essential oils than as a spice. It's a meaningful medicinal plant of Ayurveda and is said to be mood-lifting. Recent research shows that it has a strong fungus and germ destructive effect and that it's enormously effective against the notorious hospital bacteria MRSA. Lemon Grass is mainly used in the Indonesian and Thai kitchen, where it's often used together with coconut milk. It's also very popular as a tea herb as it unfolds a refreshing lemon flavour with a hint of ginger and can be dried well. When it's used for cooking, it's worth soaking the dried herb in water for a while before cooking.

Kein Titel Tatsächlich war ich anfangs nur aus experimenteller Laune heraus am Zitronengras interessiert, aber da besagtes Grünzeug bereits nach lediglich 4 Tagen bei mir ca. 1 cm hohe Grashälmchen bildet, bin ich nahezu euphorisch am gärntern.
