What it is

Lemongrass oil is an essential oil extracted from the leaves and stems of the lemongrass plant. It has a strong, citrusy aroma and flavor. The oil is typically obtained through steam distillation.

Why it's used

Lemongrass oil is primarily used as a flavoring agent in foods and beverages. Its bright, zesty profile makes it popular in Asian cuisine, particularly in curries, soups, sauces, and marinades. It can also be found in snacks like potato chips and crackers.

Research into its potential health benefits is ongoing, but it is not approved for medicinal use.
