What it is

Lemongrass powder is made from dried lemongrass, a tall, grass-like plant native to tropical Asia. The leaves and stems are dried and then ground into a fine powder. It has a distinct lemony scent and flavor.

Why it's used

Lemongrass powder is used as a flavoring agent in a variety of dishes, particularly in Asian cuisines. It adds a bright, citrusy note to soups, curries, marinades, sauces, and spice blends. Manufacturers use it to impart a fresh, aromatic flavor without adding liquid.

Health notes

Lemongrass is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use as a food flavoring. JECFA has evaluated lemongrass and found it safe for consumption. Some studies suggest lemongrass may have antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties, but more research is needed to confirm these effects in humans at typical dietary intakes. It is not known to cause adverse health effects when consumed in amounts typically found in food.

Allergen info

Lemongrass is not one of the FDA's 9 major allergens. It does not contain gluten.
