Chilled items & warm-weather notice

We ship chilled (perishable) foods with ice-gel packs, kept refrigerated. In warm weather, light oil sweating on cured products such as sucuk/pastırma, or softening of cheese, is normal and not a sign of spoilage — it returns to normal once chilled. Please refrigerate items immediately on delivery and be available to receive your order on the delivery day.

Perishable foods are exempt from the 14-day change-of-mind return; your statutory rights for genuine quality or safety issues remain unaffected.

Description

This perennial grass grows abundantly in southern India, South East Asia and the West Indies. It looks a little bit like spring onions stalks, but is much woodier and more rigid. Its characteristic lemony flavour is not obvious until the stalks are cut and crushed. Lemon rind can be used as an alternative but does not have the same intensity of flavour. Dried lemon grass can be used to flavour to a variety of south east Asian dishes. Added to Thai and Malay-style dishes it gives a distinctive flavour which makes them quite different from Indian curries.
