What is Lemongrass?

Lemongrass is an herb used in food and drink as a flavoring and is not generally consumed as a food item, due to its tougher texture. Lemongrass grows 3-5 feet tall and is sturdy and fibrous with white bottoms and pale green tops and looks like a very thick grass, which it is. In food preparation it is usually infused into hot water, or cut into small pieces and added to the cooking process to impart flavor. The taste is bright, citrusy and has a mint quality.
