Dried Organic Lemongrass (Cymbopogon flexuosis) hand harvested and grown by Purple Sage Farms

It's amazing how strong this herb tastes! The blades of lemongrass burst with essential oils that can be steeped in water for tea or infused in soup or curry to add a bright flavor. Lemongrass is a major source for citronella essential oils that are used in bug repellents and salves. These plants can be perennials in warmer climates but for us, at the 45th parallel, the lemongrass is a crop we grow annually and cherish as a dried herb in the winter.

Our organic herbs and flowers are carefully hand harvested in their prime, when they taste their best, have the most nutritional value, and their essential oils are the most abundant. We gently air dry at low temperatures, preserving the flavor, color, and aroma of the plant while using minimal energy. We cut and sift the herbs by hand to keep the plants as whole as possible to reduce oxidation, which is a process of degradation. Therefore, this product may contain some stems and may require some sorting. Dried herbs and flowers can maintain quality for up to three years.

All of our herbs, spices, and creations are lovingly grown on our Certified Organic family farm in Middleton, Idaho. Our products are then handcrafted and blended to perfection in our certified commercial kitchen on the farm. We have been specializing in organic culinary, gourmet, and medicinal herbs since 1989 and passionately serve the local community and beyond to bring you wholesome and nourishing foods in your home.

Our farm is certified organic by the Idaho State Department of Agriculture.
