Lemongrass is an important culinary herb in tropical Asia (in India it is cultivated as a medicinal herb and for perfumes, but not used as a spice). It has a light, refreshing, lemony flavor without the bitterness that lemon rind can have and with a hint of ginger. It is a staple in Thai cuisine, used to flavor soups, fish, seafood stews, curry and sauces. It is also an important flavoring in Vietnam, Cambodia and Indonesia, being used with poultry, fish and seafood dishes. Lemongrass grown from seed and starts sprouting within a couple of weeks after planting. For the best chances at success, lemongrass seeds should be planted just under the soil, about 1/16 of an inch down because they need light to germinate. It's also critical to not let the seed dry out, as it will stop the germination process. To ensure proper conditions, place a clear cup over the top of the seed to help trap moisture and heat. Alternatively, grow your seeds in a small greenhouse that stays humid. It takes about 10 to 14 days for lemongrass seeds to germinate. Once it reaches 4 inches tall, you can transfer it to a sunny spot in your garden. Harvesting lemongrass differs from pruning. As a fast-growing plant, lemongrass can withstand harvesting when plants are young, and there won't be any adverse effects on its growth. Although the green leafy portions of the plant are too tough to eat, you can snip them for steeping in tea or broth. The juicy stalks are edible when mashed or minced, adding a fragrant lemon note to dishes. Use a hand trowel to remove individual stalks, roots and all, from the clump. Remove the tough outer leaves and prepare the tender white stalks by chopping or freeze whole stalk pieces for later use.
