What a great post! I love lemongrass but have only cooked with it a couple of times, unsuccessfully I might add. I am now aware of my errors. :) So thank you for all of the information about lemongrass and then the great recipes that use it. I will be referring to this post quite often! Have a wonderful weekend!

That's a good question. The most common type of lemongrass used in cooking is Cymbopogon citratus (West Indian Lemongrass). This is the type of lemongrass you will probably find at your local Asian grocer. Other edible types include Cymbopogon citriodora, Cymbopogon ambiguus, and Cymbopogon flexuosus (East Indian Lemongrass). The other, non-edible types of lemongrass are usually referred to as "Citronella Grass" since they are used to extract the topical oil.

If you are unsure of the exact species of lemongrass growing in your yard, it is best to not consume it. Since lemongrass is a "weed" and easy to grow, we recommend buying a few fresh stalks of West Indian lemongrass from the grocery store, and growing them yourself. We will actually be posting an article soon on Season with Spice about growing your own lemongrass, so stay tuned...

Although Japanese dish doesn't use lemongrass, this is one of my favorite spice! I used to love this lemongrass chicken at this French/Vietnamese restaurant (cooked with curry) and oh my gosh...it's most amazing flavor... I miss every taste of it! All these dishes make my mouth water~~~~!
