Freeze-dried Thai Lemongrass ตะไคร้ (Cymbopogon gen.)

Lemongrass is a crucial ingredient widely-used in Southeast Asia, especially in Vietnam, Thailand and Indonesia. Thai dishes that utilize lemongrass include Tom Yum Soup, Tom Kha Gai, and a variety of curries and salads, it’s valued for the subtle but unique, citrusy dimension that it offers.

Indigenous to South and Southeast Asia, lemongrass not only provides a hint of citrus and a citronella-like scent, but is valued as a digestive aid and especially for lightening heavy meat or oil-laden dishes.

Blue Nun’s freeze-drying process locks in the colour, flavour and nutrients of fresh herbs, making it far superior to the conventional drying process. Freeze drying also adds convenience by extending shelf life, allowing our herbs to be stored at room temperature, for extended periods. We freeze-dry only whole, fresh lemongrass, in its full form, at maturity.

Blue Nun freeze-dried lemongrass has a shelf life of 1 - 3 years, depending on storage conditions.
Remember to always:
store in a cool, dark, and dry place
use an airtight container (glass jars or vacuum-sealed bags are best)
Avoid exposure to humidity, heat, light & moisture
Properly stored freeze dried herbs typically last:
unopened: 2 - 3 years of peak quality
after opening: 1- 2 years (if kept sealed tightly and stored properly)
Signs that freeze dried herbs might be past their prime include:
faded colour
weak, or no aroma
less flavor when used in dishes
*Freeze-dried herbs like basil will not ‘spoil’ like fresh food. While they are more shelf-stable than air or sun-dried herbs, they still lose flavor over time. Once their aroma becomes weak, or non-existent, it’s time to replace it.
