Organic lemongrass | flakes | 2-4 mm

What is it about / Product description

Biova organic lemongrass comes from controlled organic cultivation in Egypt and is offered here as evenly cut green flakes with a grain size of 2–4 mm. The dried pieces visually resemble herbs and exude a clear, fresh citrus aroma.

Thanks to gentle drying, the essential oils are largely preserved, resulting in an easy-to-dose, aroma-stable lemongrass spice. The granulated / crushed / coarse structure is ideal for bulk goods and professional use in gastronomy, food production and manufactories.

Whether in curries, soups, wok dishes or tea: the finely granulated organic lemongrass from Biova can be used in many ways and distributes evenly throughout the dish. This gives you a fresh, lemony note without having to remove or chop individual stalks.

Origin

The lemongrass grows in Egypt under warm, sunny conditions that promote a pronounced citrus aroma. Dry climatic conditions and suitable soils support uniform plant growth for high-quality raw material.

Cultivation / Production / Harvest

Organic cultivation follows the principles of ecological agriculture with gentle soil management and without synthetic crop protection agents. After harvesting, the stalks are cleaned, gently dried and then granulated into 2–4 mm flakes.

Special features

The granulated structure clearly distinguishes this variant from whole stalks and enables rapid release of the aromas. As green flakes, the lemongrass blends visually harmoniously into spice blends, teas and Biova bulk / retail variants.

Differences in origin and processing

Lemongrass from Egypt often shows a clear, fresh and pleasantly citrus-accented aroma. Processing into flakes, compared to coarse pieces or whole stalks, results in a finer texture and facilitates use in dry blends and liquid applications.

Taste & smell

In terms of smell, the lemongrass presents an intense, fresh citrus aroma with light grassy nuances. In taste, it is clear, invigorating and lemony, but without the pronounced acidity of fresh lemons.

Possible applications

• For seasoning Asian soups, curries, wok dishes and stews

• As an ingredient in spice blends, marinades, chutneys, stocks and dressings
