Lemongrass powder is made from dried and finely ground lemongrass stalks, offering a citrusy, slightly sweet, and herbal flavor with hints of lemon and ginger. It’s a convenient alternative to fresh lemongrass and is widely used in Southeast Asian, Indian, and fusion cuisines.
Culinary Tips:
-
Add to soups, curries, and stews for a bright, aromatic lift—especially in Thai and Filipino dishes.
-
Use in marinades for chicken, seafood, or tofu for a citrusy punch.
-
Stir into rice, noodle dishes, or sauces for flavor depth.
-
Combine with coconut milk, garlic, and chili for an easy curry base.
-
Start with small amounts and adjust to taste, as it's more concentrated than fresh lemongrass.
