Lemon Grass

Widely cultivated all over the world, this grass is steam-distilled from fresh or partly dried leaves. This tufted perennial grass has been found to grow very well on the east coast of South Africa, where Ayanda African Oil growers are producing this oil for the flavour and fragrance industry.  Lemongrass oil is a yellow or amber coloured oil with a strong, fresh herbaceous and citrus odour.
