Lemongrass stick extra 90-110g

Lemongrass is a tropical aromatic herb selected by Le Delas for the potency of its essential oils and the freshness of its fleshy base. This ‘extra' grade guarantees dense, fragrant stalks, essential for infusing dishes with a signature lemony, floral and slightly peppery flavour. A true staple of fusion and Asian cuisine, it is highly prized by professionals for its ability to impart an immediate freshness without the acidity of lemon.
Professional uses, preparation and storage:
► Infusions and broths: It is the key ingredient in Tom Yam-style broths or Thai curries. It infuses beautifully in coconut milk, cooking oils or syrups for pastry and mixology.
► Seafood and poultry: It elegantly complements white fish, shellfish and poultry, whether en papillote, in a marinade or incorporated into emulsified sauces.
► Preparation: To release the maximum flavour, it is advisable to remove the dry outer leaves and crush the bulb with the flat of a chef's knife before infusing. For direct consumption (chopped), use only the tender core at the base of the stalk, finely chopped.
► Storage: Store in a positive-temperature cold room. Lemongrass stalks keep for a long time if kept in a cool, dry environment, thus preventing the fibres from drying out.
