The lemongrass of Java or Ceylon is a grass native to Indonesia. It has long, narrow leaves up to 2 m in length, as well as linear stems and inflorescences. Depending on the geographical area (Java, Sri Lanka, Vietnam), lemongrass are large perennial herbs, which may belong to wild or cultivated species.
Anyone who consumes an Indonesian meal, will inevitably submit his taste buds with rich aromas of Lemongrass. It's a beautiful essential oil to work with if you are looking for an essential oil that can help give you an emotional boost when life is challenging.
Because of its success, the essential oil of Lemongrass began to be produced in high volume from the eighteenth century. Today, it is still commonly used for its anti-mosquito repellent properties, and appreciated for its taste and its characteristic smell. It is also frequently used in the formulation of insect repellents and consumer products including some cleaning products and some hygiene products.
As the name implies, lemongrass smells just like lemons, but it is milder, sweeter, and far less sour. This grass is used in countless beverages(including tea), desserts, and other forms of culinary creations as a flavoring agent when fresh lemon is not available or is not to be used because of its potent flavor. It is widely used in Chinese and Thai recipes. It grows and spreads very fast like any other grass and fetches a good price in the market, which makes it a profitable and common item in organic and mainstream markets.
