Lemongrass

Lemongrass is a fragrant stalky herb commonly used in Southeast Asian cooking (Thai, Vietnamese, Malaysian) for soups, curries and marinades; the tender white inner parts are prized for their citrusy, lemon-like aroma. As an ingredient it is usually used fresh or bruised to infuse flavor rather than eaten in large quantities. Nutritionally, Lemongrass is very light and flavorful with only 99kcal per 100g, contributing small amounts of carbohydrates and protein while adding distinctive aroma without much fat. It also contributes micronutrients and trace minerals (notably manganese and vitamin K) when used in larger amounts or in concentrated preparations like pastes. From a health perspective, lemongrass is a nutrient-dense flavoring that can enhance dishes without adding many calories; it also contains plant compounds that have antioxidant and soothing, anti-inflammatory properties, making it a useful herb beyond its taste.Read more
