Lemongrass

Product Overview

Ismailia Lemongrass Premium

Egyptian lemongrass (Cymbopogon citratus (DC.) Stapf) cultivated in the Ismailia region produces leaves with an exceptionally high citral content and clean, bright lemony aroma. The warm canal-irrigated lowlands of the Suez Canal Zone provide the tropical-like microclimate that lemongrass requires, while Egypt's consistent sunshine ensures elevated essential oil concentrations that exceed those of many Southeast Asian origins.

HS Herbs supplies cut-and-sifted lemongrass leaves that are harvested at optimal maturity, mechanically chopped to uniform size, and carefully dried to preserve volatile citral compounds and maintain the characteristic pale green to straw-yellow color. Every batch is analyzed for volatile oil content, citral percentage, and full microbiological compliance.

Egyptian lemongrass is widely used in herbal tea and tisane blends, flavoring for soups and Asian cuisine, essential oil distillation, aromatherapy formulations, and natural insect-repellent products. HS Herbs ensures consistent supply with full export documentation.
