Storing Lemongrass
Option 1: In the Refrigerator

- Wrapping in Paper: Loosely wrap the lemongrass in a damp paper towel. This provides the right amount of moisture without soaking the herb.
- Placing in a Plastic Bag: After wrapping, place the lemongrass in a plastic bag. Avoid sealing the bag completely, as some air circulation will prevent excessive moisture buildup, which can cause decay.
Option 2: In Water
- Using a Jar or Vase: Trim the ends of the lemongrass and place the stalks in a jar or vase filled with a small amount of water. Only the root ends should be submerged.
- Changing Water Regularly: Change the water every few days to keep it fresh and free from bacteria.
Option 3: Freezing
- Prepping for Freezer: If you won’t be using the lemongrass soon, you can chop it into pieces and freeze it.
- Storage Method: Place the chopped lemongrass in an airtight container or a sealable freezer bag. Frozen lemongrass can last for several months and can be used directly in cooking without thawing.
