Premium Dehydrated Lemongrass Leaves – The Aromatic Essence of Citrus & Calm

1. Introduction to Dehydrated Lemongrass Leaves

Lemongrass (Cymbopogon citratus), known as Sả in Vietnam, is world-renowned for its refreshing lemony scent and earthy undertones. While the stalks are a culinary staple, the leaves are the secret treasure of the plant, containing a high concentration of essential oils like Citral and Geraniol.

At Vinahugo, we harvest fresh lemongrass leaves at their peak aromatic potency. By using low-temperature air-drying, we prevent the delicate citrus oils from evaporating, ensuring that our dehydrated leaves retain their vibrant fragrance and therapeutic properties. They are an ideal solution for herbal tea manufacturers, the wellness industry, and culinary spice blenders.
