Lemongrass Paste

Lemongrass Paste is a concentrated seasoning paste made from the aromatic stalks of lemongrass, commonly used in Southeast Asian cuisines for soups, curries and marinades. It delivers the citrusy, lemon-like aroma of lemongrass in an easy-to-use form that speeds up cooking and seasoning. Nutritionally it is a low-fat, low-calorie flavoring ingredient that nevertheless contributes some plant fiber and minerals — notably 4.6mg of iron per 100 g. Because it is used in small amounts, it adds flavor with minimal calories or fat. As a processed herb preparation it preserves much of lemongrass’s micronutrient value and is a convenient way to add herbal aroma and modest mineral content to dishes without changing their macronutrient balance.
