IQF LEMONGRASS
Add this refreshing herb to your Asian cuisine with ease.

MOMENCE, ILLINOIS… (January 8, 2008) - Van Drunen Farms (VDF) now offers IQF Lemongrass for food processing use.

Lemongrass is a tall, grassy-like perennial herb primarily grown in India, Indonesia and Southeast Asia, and is domestically grown in Florida, California and Illinois. It is an essential ingredient for Thai and Vietnamese cooking, and increasingly popular fare on menus and retail shelves today. Lemongrass offers a distinct citrus scent and refreshing taste that helps to lighten richer foods.

As the demand for Asian cuisine continues to grow, access to key ingredients that make each dish authentic can be a challenge. IQF Lemongrass from VDF is simply a quality, fresh lemongrass product that has been flash-frozen right after harvest, preserving its aroma, fresh taste, color, and piece identity. Lemongrass is typically used in curries, soups and seafood dishes, and this aromatic herb pairs especially well with garlic, cilantro and chile flavors. It is ideal for marinades, salad dressings, stews and even frozen pizza. Van Drunen Farms offers IQF Lemongrass in fine cut format; customization is available.
