Hi all! Happy New Year! This video was filmed last year but I wanted to share with you how to hopefully grow your own lemongrass this coming year! I spent the year documenting our lemongrass crop and wanted to share how it went.So I hope you enjoy :)
Lemongrass is a grass plant & herb that can be found in tropical areas of the world. But it can be easily grown at home. It is used all over the world for a wide variety of dishes, medicine, home remedies, essential oils, and so many more. It can grow like weed in hot regions. It has a great citrus scent, beautiful green leaves, and tough-layered texture.
There are quite a few types of lemongrass (variety). The most common type used in a lot of Asian cooking is known as West Indian (Cymbopogon citratus) Lemongrass. The stalks are little more on the pale yellow and green color. The aroma is a little weak raw, but becomes stronger when it gets cooked. This lemongrass is the most preferred and commonly used. There's also East Indian Lemongrass (Cymbopogon flexuosus) can also be used for cooking but it's usually more known for it's medicinal and essential usage. However, this one has more of a citrus scent even before cooking it. So it's great raw and cooked. East Indian also has a more purple hue to it. There are more varieties, but these two are the focus today since it's mostly used for cooking.

I specifically focus on Hmong food I grew up eating but I also venture into other South East Asian food as well.As a second generation Hmong American woman, my goal is to teach you what Hmong people love to eat, what we cook, how we cook it, how it has evolved, and how we enjoy it. I want you to learn a little bit more about the Hmong food culture and I hope you all stay tuned on this culinary adventure with me. As always, happy cooking :) -Cindy Her [C.HerCreations]
