HOW TO HARVEST & STORE LEMONGRASS

I show you how I harvest lemongrass 3 ways and store them in order to have a supply for the winter. If you live in a cooler region prone to frost, you might be thinking about bringing a lot of your favorite tropical herbs and plants in. Lemongrass can be grown indoors during but they need a lot of sunlight and warmth to be vigorous, otherwise they will just go dormant under the right conditions. Because I have east facing windows that get limited sunlight each day, the lemongrass won't grow well in my home. Instead, I like to harvest them and store them several ways so that I have a nice supply all winter until the weather warms up the following season. Each way I prepare the lemongrass is used for a different application of cooking, consuming. I hope you enjoy this video. Take care!

I like making a simple syrup with raw cane sugar, fresh ginger and the green parts of lemon grass. It's perfect on ice with tonic water and a lime wedge on a hot day.

Thank you for the preps for freezer storage! Many talk about growing but not so much the preparation or storage.
I will finally cut back my lemongrass this month & store before bringing in the pot for winter!

This is truly a very helpful video. I have a huge pot of culinary lemongrass that I started from ends I bought to use in Thai cooking. Placed them in water, and they spouted roots, then I planted them. It makes a great accent plant in the summer. Now to start my harvest

Beautiful scenery, music and close-ups of the lemongrass. Thank you for showing all the uses for lemongrass, both the bottom thick part and the top leaves!

Thanks for sharing, now i can properly store my overgrown lemon grass leave

[risingson]

Didn't know you could cut them so low. I have a bunch to harvest. Very tall and bushy from growing all year. Was told 18 inches up from ground is best, but I have no idea.
I will try this and a bit farther up the stalk to see. Thanks for video. Very nice garden.

Great video. Lemongrass is easily one of my favorite teas. I always keep at least one plant around just for that purpose. I also love vietnamese food and one of my favorite dishes has the lemongrass infused beef...if only I knew how to make it. Now that my lemongrass is overgrown though, I was looking at ways to harvest and use the stalks. Thanks so much for the video and the tips!
