Why should you choose VietTuong Food’s frozen lemongrass?

+ Selected Raw Material Area: We cooperate with reputable farms in regions with ideal climate and soil for lemongrass growth. The cultivation process complies with VietGAP standards, prioritizing organic methods, without using pesticides and toxic chemicals.

+ Harvesting at the Right Time: Lemongrass is harvested when it reaches optimal maturity, when the plant contains the highest essential oil content, ensuring the most rich flavor.

+ Careful Processing: Immediately after harvesting, lemongrass is quickly transported to the factory. Here, lemongrass is washed through many stages, removing the old outer shell and green leaves, keeping only the young and pure white roots, the most nutritious.

+ Color: The product retains the fresh green-yellow color of the young lemongrass, without black spots or discoloration thanks to quick freezing technology.

+ Fragrance: Right after winter, the faint citrus scent, characteristic of citral essential oil, radiates strongly and authentically, almost indistinguishable from freshly harvested lemongrass.
