  • I just bought a jar of Ta Krai sliced lemongrass stalks. I can't always obtain lemongrass out here in the country, so I thought I'd try this so I would always have it on hand. The ingredients on the label include lemongrass, water, salt, and citric acid. Does anyone know anything about "jarred" lemongrass?

  • Oddly perfect; I just got lemongrass and was having a hard time figuring out how to use it other than steeping in soup. I'll try grating it--thanks!
