Premium Lemongrass Powder – The Aromatic, Citrusy Essence for Global Cuisine

1. Introduction to Lemongrass Powder

Lemongrass Powder is a highly aromatic spice derived from the dried stalks of the lemongrass plant (Cymbopogon citratus). Vietnam is one of the world’s premier sources of lemongrass, where the tropical sun and fertile soil concentrate the plant’s natural essential oils, primarily Citral, which gives it its signature lemon-like scent and zesty flavor.

At Vinahugo, we produce lemongrass powder by selecting only the tender, oil-rich lower stalks. Our low-temperature dehydration process ensures that the vibrant aroma and bioactive properties are locked in, providing a convenient, long-lasting alternative to fresh lemongrass for food manufacturers and gourmet kitchens.
