Lemongrass is a perennial grass that is fast-growing, tall, and aromatic. It can grow up to 1.5 meters (4 feet) in height. It is native to Asia but is now cultivated mostly in the West Indies, Africa, and Tropical Asia. Distillation of the leaves of C. flexuosus yields East Indian lemongrass oil. The oil is very similar to West Indian lemongrass oil and is used as a flavouring and fragrance material, mainly in soaps, detergents, and industrial perfumes. The oil is a source of citral, which is either used directly or converted toα- andβ-ionones. Shop now at: https://www.aromaticscanada.ca..../shop/oils/essential
