About us

Lemongrass powder, with
delicate lemon notes 

Lemongrass, scientifically known as Cymbopogon, is an aromatic herb belonging to the Poaceae family. Native to the tropical regions of Southeast Asia, this perennial plant has captivated botanists due to its distinctive characteristics and its diverse uses in both culinary and traditional medicine.

Also known as Indian Verbena, lemongrass takes us on a culinary odyssey through the centuries, capturing the flavours and fragrances of Southeast Asia. Originating from this tropical region, lemongrass has woven its history over generations, becoming a staple in Cambodian, Vietnamese, and Thai cuisines.

The earliest traces of lemongrass use date back to ancient civilizations that thrived in tropical regions. During the era of great explorations, lemongrass followed the famed Spice Route, becoming one of the precious commodities traded between East and West.

Lemongrass has transcended its roots to become a culinary icon. Its long, slender stalks have become the hallmark of signature dishes such as fragrant soups, exquisite curries, and delicious marinades. It has imparted a distinctive citrusy freshness to Southeast Asian cuisine.

Today, lemongrass continues its journey through kitchens worldwide. Its history, rich in flavours and aromas, persists in contemporary cuisines, where it continues to delight palates with its authentic taste and culinary heritage.

Lemongrass Stalk Powder offers exceptional culinary versatility, allowing you to add a touch of exotism to a variety of dishes. Here are some suggestions to fully exploit its aromatic potential:

  • Generously sprinkle Lemongrass Powder into your broths for a fragrant base and into your curries to intensify flavours, creating an exotic and delicious taste experience.
  • Incorporate the powder into the preparation of fish or chicken papillotes to infuse a delicate citrus flavour that perfectly complements the natural aromas of the ingredients.
  • Use the lemongrass powder in fish marinades to infuse a vibrant citrusy flavour. It works particularly well with delicate fish such as cod or salmon.
  • Integrate the powder into cold soups like gazpacho to add a hint of citrusy freshness that enhances vegetable flavours.
  • Mix Lemongrass Stalk Powder into your rice before cooking to create a fragrant side dish that pairs perfectly with Asian or tropical dishes.
  • Add the powder to legume dishes such as lentils or chickpeas to impart a citrusy touch, elevating the flavour profile.
  • Stir the lemongrass powder into fresh lemonade for a refreshing and fragrant summer drink. Add lemon slices and mint for an elegant presentation.
  • For a tropical twist, incorporate lemongrass into your fruit salads. It adds a subtle citrus freshness, creating a refreshing and original combination.
  • Prepare a homemade sorbet by incorporating the powder into the mixture. Serve it as a dessert for a refreshing and light experience.
  • Mix the powder into muffin batter and add raspberries for a fruity and tangy combination. A treat for breakfast or a snack.

Lemongrass is more than just an aromatic herb used in cooking; it is also recognised for its numerous health benefits.

Lemongrass is a natural source of antioxidants such as citronellal, citronellol, and geraniol. These compounds help neutralise free radicals in the body, contributing to a stronger immune system. Lemongrass possesses anti-inflammatory properties that may help reduce inflammation in the body. This can be beneficial for people suffering from inflammatory conditions.

Lemongrass is known for its potential to promote healthy digestion. It may help relieve gastrointestinal disorders such as bloating and stomach aches. Regular consumption of lemongrass may contribute to maintaining optimal cardiovascular health by regulating blood pressure and cholesterol levels.

Sustainable lemongrass cultivation is at the heart of our commitment at La Plantation, on our own Kampot Farm. We pay meticulous attention to every step of the process, from leaf to stalk, to ensure the exceptional quality of our product.

The harvesting of lemongrass stalks is carried out with care and respect for the environment. Our farmers meticulously select the sturdiest stalks, ensuring high-quality production. Sustainable cultivation also involves responsible management of natural resources, promoting biodiversity on our farm.

Once harvested, the stalks undergo a rigorous process. They are delicately peeled to reveal their tender core, then precisely cut to ensure optimal aroma concentration. The speed with which we proceed to low-temperature drying is crucial to preserving the freshness and intensity of lemongrass aromas.

You can also discover lemongrass leaves, ideal for herbal teas.

Our sustainable cultivation embodies our commitment to sustainability, quality, and environmental respect, ensuring you a unique and ethical taste experience with every use.

Like all powdered spices, Lemongrass is delicate, which is why we package all our spices directly on our Kampot Farm, even our smallest 50g formats. This helps preserve these delicate aromas as best as possible.

Store Lemongrass Powder in its original packaging or transfer it to an airtight container. Ensure the container is well-sealed to avoid exposure to moisture, air, or light, factors that can alter the spice’s flavour.

Keep Lemongrass Powder in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Avoid kitchen areas exposed to heat or significant temperature fluctuations. Keep Lemongrass Powder away from moisture. Humidity can cause clumping and alter the spice’s texture.
