HOW TO HARVEST & STORE LEMONGRASS

I show you how I harvest lemongrass 3 ways and store them in order to have a supply for the winter. If you live in a cooler region prone to frost, you might be thinking about bringing a lot of your favorite tropical herbs and plants in. Lemongrass can be grown indoors during but they need a lot of sunlight and warmth to be vigorous, otherwise they will just go dormant under the right conditions. Because I have east facing windows that get limited sunlight each day, the lemongrass won't grow well in my home. Instead, I like to harvest them and store them several ways so that I have a nice supply all winter until the weather warms up the following season. Each way I prepare the lemongrass is used for a different application of cooking, consuming. I hope you enjoy this video. Take care!

I like making a simple syrup with raw cane sugar, fresh ginger and the green parts of lemon grass. It's perfect on ice with tonic water and a lime wedge on a hot day.

Great video. Lemongrass is easily one of my favorite teas. I always keep at least one plant around just for that purpose. I also love vietnamese food and one of my favorite dishes has the lemongrass infused beef...if only I knew how to make it. Now that my lemongrass is overgrown though, I was looking at ways to harvest and use the stalks. Thanks so much for the video and the tips!

Thank you so much for sharing this❣️ I found your video through searching for harvesting and processing Lemongrass. I finally grew a patch of Lemongrass this year because it is one of my favorite herb flavors and I love it in soups. I so wanted to experience having fresh Lemongrass. I live in zone 5a and will be harvesting it soon. I like that you can put it in little bundles and freeze- such an easy way to put it in a soup!! Do you know if you can dehydrate Lemongrass? We dry many of our herbs in the dehydrator but I don’t want to do it if it will diminish the flavors in Lemongrass. Also, now that I have watched your video, I am thinking about potting up a small bunch and bringing it in over winter. This video was very helpful, I appreciate all that you shared, thanks again 💚💛🩵🤍💜

Thank you so much for watching the video and I'm glad you enjoyed it :) The flavor and aroma does diminish if dehydrated. Freezing is the best at preserving its vibrant flavor and aroma.

Thank you so much. Yes, it's possible. I have family in the northeast and many of them do that. The lemongrass goes into dormancy in the winter, watering much less, and it comes back in the spring.

I find it helps. You can let the lemongrass air dry for a few hours after washing them, before placing them in the bags. These bags can be reused. Thank you for watching.

@@terinolin1388 Best of luck! Lemongrass is easy to regrow from cuttings though if it doesn't work out. I don't have any herb drying videos at the moment. Lemongrass is best in the freezer for storage, even better than drying it. In the freezer, it will still maintain it's vibrant taste and aroma when packaged well. Stays fresh in the freezer for up to a year or until your next growing season 😊
