Its hallmark is a refreshing lemon-like aroma, and it is finished with low-temperature drying to preserve that aroma as much as possible. At Agriture, we run this in parallel with a finely powdered dried lemongrass powder (made to order), proposing a division of use: cut dried lemongrass for applications where you want to take advantage of the stem-and-leaf shape and the aroma released during extraction, and the powder for adding aroma to doughs and powdered products.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Compared with herbs that share a citrus aroma, such as lemon verbena and lemon balm, lemongrass differentiates itself through its \"clear lemon scent derived from the aroma compound citral,\" its \"staple status in herbal and blended teas,\" and its \"presence in ethnic cuisines starting with Thai food.\" It's an ingredient we get many prototype inquiries about\u2014for herbal tea, blended tea, ethnic dishes like tom yum kung, adding aroma to curries and soups, and as a material for potpourri and craft uses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Three points of pride in Agriture's dried lemongrass<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">1. Low-temperature drying that makes the most of the aroma<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The appeal of lemongrass is its refreshing, lemon-like aroma centered on citral. At Agriture, we design the process to hold down the drying temperature and remove moisture in a short time, keeping as much of the volatile aroma compounds in the finished product as possible. The way the aroma rises when passed through hot water is a factor that shapes the finish of herbal teas, soups, and ethnic dishes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2. A cut shape that extracts easily<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Lemongrass is finely cut from the stems and leaves before drying. A fine cut has a large surface area, so the aroma transfers easily to hot water and dashi, making it usable as is in herbal teas, blended teas, and soups. The cut size can be adjusted to the application\u2014from a fine cut for tea bags to a slightly larger cut for simmering\u2014so you can select it to match your final product's extraction conditions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3. Choosing the lot that suits the application for ingredient production<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">At Agriture, we turn lemongrass into an ingredient by assessing aroma strength, color, and cut uniformity. For herbal teas we prioritize aroma release; for cooking, an easy-to-handle cut\u2014shifting the selection axis by application, starting from the intended use. We identify the lot that suits the final product at the prototype stage before setting up the mass-production line.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"p-blogParts post_content\" data-partsid=\"2831\">\n<div class=\"swell-block-fullWide pc-py-20 sp-py-20 alignfull\" style=\"background-color:#ffffff\"><div class=\"swell-block-fullWide__inner l-container\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column\">\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-center is-style-section_ttl u-mb-ctrl u-mb-10\">Product catalog showing the items we handle<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-paragraph\">Flexible support from small lots to large lots<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns are-vertically-aligned-center\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-vertically-aligned-center\" style=\"flex-basis:30%\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large size_xs\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/agriture.jp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/DSC_4178-Edit-edited-1-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\u4e7e\u71e5\u91ce\u83dc\" class=\"wp-image-110\" srcset=\"https:\/\/agriture.jp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/DSC_4178-Edit-edited-1-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/agriture.jp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/DSC_4178-Edit-edited-1-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/agriture.jp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/DSC_4178-Edit-edited-1-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/agriture.jp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/DSC_4178-Edit-edited-1-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/agriture.jp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/DSC_4178-Edit-edited-1-2048x1365.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-vertically-aligned-center\" style=\"flex-basis:30%\">\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list -list-under-dashed\">\n<li>Sold in small lots from 100g<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Handling heirloom vegetables from across Japan<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Dried fruits and herbs also supported<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-vertically-aligned-center\" style=\"flex-basis:30%\">\n<div class=\"swell-block-button -size-l is-style-btn_normal\"><a href=\"https:\/\/agriture.noco.sale\/share\/d\/01KT67ZHHNQF9MZ0RKRGQA92MQ\" class=\"swell-block-button__link\"><span>Download here<\/span><\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Features of commercial dried lemongrass<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Even among dried herb ingredients, lemongrass holds a distinctive position with its refreshing lemon scent, its staple status in herbal teas, and its presence in ethnic cuisine. We organize its strengths, assuming a cut shape, across six perspectives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"display:flex;flex-wrap:wrap;gap:16px;margin:24px 0\">\n<div style=\"flex:1 1 calc(50% - 8px);min-width:260px;background:#fafcf8;border-left:3px solid #2c5f2d;padding:18px 20px\">\n<p style=\"margin:0 0 8px;color:#2c5f2d;font-weight:bold\">A refreshing lemon scent derived from citral<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin:0\">Lemongrass's aroma centers on citral, an aroma compound also found in lemon peel. Unlike actual lemon fruit, it lets you add a citrus aroma without using the plant itself, so it can be used as is to scent herbal teas, soups, and ethnic dishes.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"flex:1 1 calc(50% - 8px);min-width:260px;background:#fdfbf6;border-left:3px solid #6b8e23;padding:18px 20px\">\n<p style=\"margin:0 0 8px;color:#2c5f2d;font-weight:bold\">A cut shape that extracts easily<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin:0\">Because it is finely cut, it has a large surface area, giving it a shape whose aroma transfers easily to hot water and dashi. It can be used as is in herbal teas, blended teas, and soups, and keeps extraction time short.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"flex:1 1 calc(50% - 8px);min-width:260px;background:#fafcf8;border-left:3px solid #2c5f2d;padding:18px 20px\">\n<p style=\"margin:0 0 8px;color:#2c5f2d;font-weight:bold\">Staple status in herbal teas<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin:0\">Lemongrass has long been enjoyed both as a single-herb tea and as a base for blended teas. As a dried product that can be stored at room temperature, it lets you bring the aroma of lemongrass into a final product regardless of season.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"flex:1 1 calc(50% - 8px);min-width:260px;background:#fdfbf6;border-left:3px solid #6b8e23;padding:18px 20px\">\n<p style=\"margin:0 0 8px;color:#2c5f2d;font-weight:bold\">Presence in ethnic cuisine<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin:0\">It's a flavoring ingredient that has been used in Thai and other ethnic cuisines, starting with tom yum kung. A dried product lets you recreate an ethnic aroma in the final product even where fresh lemongrass is hard to obtain.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"flex:1 1 calc(50% - 8px);min-width:260px;background:#fafcf8;border-left:3px solid #2c5f2d;padding:18px 20px\">\n<p style=\"margin:0 0 8px;color:#2c5f2d;font-weight:bold\">Ease of use as a blending ingredient<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin:0\">Its aroma pairs easily with other herbs, tea leaves, and spices. You can build it into your formulation as an aromatic accent\u2014in blended teas, spice mixes, seasoning bases, and more.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"flex:1 1 calc(50% - 8px);min-width:260px;background:#fdfbf6;border-left:3px solid #6b8e23;padding:18px 20px\">\n<p style=\"margin:0 0 8px;color:#2c5f2d;font-weight:bold\">Use in combination with powder<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin:0\">By using it together with the finely powdered dried lemongrass powder (made to order), you can design recipes that use cut product for extraction and powder for kneading directly into doughs and powdered products, each for its own purpose.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Product specifications (commercial)<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Basic specifications at the prototype stage are as follows.

Please also see the list of powder raw materials.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin:0\"><a href=\"https:\/\/agriture.jp\/en\/powder\/\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#2c5f2d;color:#fff;padding:10px 20px;text-decoration:none;border-radius:6px;font-weight:bold\">See the list of powder raw materials<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Commitments to variety, grower, and growing region<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Lemongrass is a perennial of the genus Cymbopogon in the grass family, and its lemon-like aroma has made it a familiar flavoring ingredient in herbal teas and cooking. At Agriture, we make aroma strength, cut condition, and the drying finish the axes of our ingredient design.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"background:#fdfbf6;padding:24px;border-radius:8px;margin:24px 0\">\n<p style=\"margin:0 0 8px;color:#2c5f2d;font-weight:bold;font-size:15px\">BRAND\uff5cThe position of lemongrass as an ingredient<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin:0 0 18px\">Lemongrass is an aromatic herb that has been used in herbal teas, blended teas, and ethnic dishes like tom yum kung. At Agriture, we translate this refreshing aroma into a commercial ingredient, offering it as a material usable across a wide range of final products\u2014from herbal teas and spice products to ethnic seasonings.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin:0 0 8px;color:#2c5f2d;font-weight:bold;font-size:15px\">PRODUCER | Basic policy for sourcing and coordination<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin:0 0 18px\">We select lots with strong aroma and uniform cut in coordination with our suppliers. At the prototype stage we source small amounts from several suppliers, evaluate the aroma release after drying and the flavor during extraction, and then set up the supply line for mass-production lots.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin:0 0 8px;color:#2c5f2d;font-weight:bold;font-size:15px\">SELECTION\uff5cSelection criteria<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin:0 0 18px\">Even with the same lemongrass, the suitable application changes with aroma strength, color, and cut fineness. We set evaluation criteria starting from the final product's use\u2014prioritizing aroma release for herbal teas and an easy-to-handle cut for cooking, for example\u2014identifying the lot that suits the application and turning it into an ingredient.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin:0 0 8px;color:#2c5f2d;font-weight:bold;font-size:15px\">QUALITY\uff5cAssessing quality<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin:0\">We turn it into an ingredient while checking how the aroma rises when passed through hot water, its condition when rehydrated, and the uniformity of the cut. Because aroma compounds volatilize easily, we aim for a finish that carries the aroma through to the final product, including the drying conditions and storage design.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Low-temperature drying technology and quality control<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Prompt drying after cutting<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Once lemongrass is cut, the aroma compounds volatilize more easily over time. By moving swiftly from cutting to drying, we finish it under conditions that retain the lemon-like aroma as much as possible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Retaining aroma through low-temperature drying<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">High-temperature drying drives off the aroma compounds and dulls the color as well. By removing moisture slowly in a low-temperature range, we produce a finish whose aroma rises when passed through hot water. As a flavoring ingredient for herbal teas and soups, we aim for an ingredient that conveys the character of lemongrass. When using it in herbal tea, steep it in boiling water for a few minutes to fully extract the aroma. When using it in soups and simmered dishes, adding it in the latter half of cooking helps the aroma remain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Use cases<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We organize the applications we get prototype inquiries about at Agriture into six categories. Each is an example of recipe design that takes advantage of lemongrass's refreshing aroma and cut shape.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">1. Herb tea and blended tea<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It can be used as a single-herb lemongrass tea, or as a base for blended teas combined with other herbs and tea leaves. A fine cut is easy to pack into tea bags and extracts its aroma quickly in boiling water. It can also be held as room-temperature stock, and its stable, year-round supply is valued in commercial use.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2. Ethnic cuisine and Thai food<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It can be used as a flavoring ingredient for tom yum kung, green curry, ethnic soups, and more. Even where fresh lemongrass is hard to obtain, a dried product can be rehydrated to recreate an ethnic aroma. It can be developed into recipe design for restaurants or as an ingredient for ethnic seasonings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3. Soups and simmered dishes<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It can be used to scent soups, simmered dishes, and dashi. Adding it in the latter half of cooking helps the refreshing, lemon-like aroma remain. It can be developed into products where you want to add an aromatic accent, such as instant soup mixes and soup-stock bases.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">4. Spice mixes and seasonings<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It can be blended as a base for curry powder, ethnic spice mixes, and aromatic seasonings. Powdered, it mixes uniformly into powdered seasonings; as a cut product, it suits use as an ingredient for seasoning liquids where you simmer it to transfer the aroma. It can be used in the product design of seasonings that foreground aroma.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">5. Beverages and drinks<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It can be used as a beverage ingredient for herb waters, flavored syrups, cocktail bases, and more. Taking advantage of its refreshing, lemon-like aroma, it can be developed into summer-oriented refreshing drinks and non-alcoholic flavored beverages. It's a material suited to extraction, where you transfer the aroma.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">6. Potpourri, crafts, and sundries<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Beyond food, it can also be used as a material for potpourri, sachets, and craft goods. A dried cut product retains its aroma well and suits use as an accent in herb-based sundries and gift products. It can be built into the product design of items meant to be enjoyed for their scent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Commercial usage and rehydration<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Basics of use<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>For herbal tea: steep in boiling water for 3\u20135 minutes to extract the aroma.

A fine cut is easy to pack into tea bags, and steeping in boiling water for 3\u20135 minutes extracts the aroma. It works both as a single-herb lemongrass tea and as a base for blended teas combined with other herbs and tea leaves. The cut size can be adjusted to match your extraction conditions.<\/p><\/div>\n<div style=\"border-bottom:1px solid #e0ead8;padding:18px 0\"><h3 style=\"color:#2c5f2d;margin:0 0 10px;font-size:16px;border-left:3px solid #2c5f2d;padding-left:12px\">How does it differ in use from lemongrass powder?<\/h3><p style=\"margin:0\">Dried lemongrass is for \"extraction, where you transfer the aroma, or applications where you want to take advantage of the cut shape,\" while the powder is for \"blending into doughs, powdered seasonings, and confectionery\"\u2014that's the division of use. Herbal teas, soups, and ethnic dishes suit the cut product; blending into powdered seasonings and spice mixes suits the powder. Using them together lets you design recipes that use each for extraction and blending applications respectively.<\/p><\/div>\n<div style=\"border-bottom:1px solid #e0ead8;padding:18px 0\"><h3 style=\"color:#2c5f2d;margin:0 0 10px;font-size:16px;border-left:3px solid #2c5f2d;padding-left:12px\">What is the minimum prototype lot?<\/h3><p style=\"margin:0\">We accept prototypes from 1kg of raw material. You can run multiple conditions in parallel\u2014comparing cut sizes, or comparing herbal-tea and cooking specifications, for example. Main production is from 10kg, and you can consult us all the way through to OEM finished-product development. After hearing your intended final-product specifications, lot, and schedule, we'll propose an individual quote and lead time.<\/p><\/div>\n<div style=\"border-bottom:1px solid #e0ead8;padding:18px 0\"><h3 style=\"color:#2c5f2d;margin:0 0 10px;font-size:16px;border-left:3px solid #2c5f2d;padding-left:12px\">Please tell me the best-before date and how to store it.<\/h3><p style=\"margin:0\">The best-before date is roughly 6 months from the shipping date. Before opening, store it in a cool, dark place at room temperature, away from high heat, high humidity, and direct sunlight. Because lemongrass's aroma compounds volatilize easily, after opening we recommend transferring it to a zip-lock bag or airtight container and using it up within a guideline of 1\u20132 months. Refrigeration is also possible, but watch for condensation right after taking it out, and bring it back to room temperature before opening.<\/p><\/div>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Recommended
