Lemongrass (Cymbopogon citratus) is a fragrant, lemony, herbaceous herb native to maritime Southeast Asia, which includes Indonesia, the Philippines, Malaysia and Singapore, but is cultivated in tropical and subtropical regions worldwide . Lemongrass is a key ingredient in Southeast Asian dishes, namely Thai and Vietnamese cuisines. Lemongrass helps soups, salads, and curries burst, and it's also used to add a citrus flavor to roasted meats. The outer leaves can also be dried and brewed into a tea, or chopped fresh and used in a cocktail.

Supplier: 1001 herbes
1001 Herbes starts with the idea of cultivating plants to produce essential oils. The first crops of thyme, sage and mint were born in 2013 on a small plot in Avusy. After encountering the numerous difficulties associated with the production of essential oils in Switzerland, Camille decided to offer her fresh plants to the market and to restaurateurs. The interest is there and the adventure begins!
Endowed with great curiosity and driven by the desire to diversify his crops, Camille takes steps with several Geneva producers, farmers and winegrowers to obtain a small piece of land. Not without difficulties, his project finally resonated with Yves Batardon who offered him a plot of land in Soral. It is from this moment that one thing led to another and the cultures multiplied and diversified.Distance from Saint Jean, Geneva
