Buyer Considerations
Choosing the Right Fresh Lemongrass Specification
Professional buyers should define the product according to intended use rather than relying only on the term “fresh lemongrass.”
- Size and stalk dimensions: may affect retail presentation, usable yield, processing and packing.
- Preparation: state whether whole, trimmed, cleaned or another agreed preparation is required.
- Product condition: define freshness, firmness, appearance and unacceptable deterioration.
- Application: retail, food-service and processing channels may require different preparation.
- Packaging: identify bulk, food-service, retail or other commercial requirements.
- Destination: plant-health, residue, documentation and logistics requirements may vary.
Procurement tip: Provide the intended application together with the required product specification to reduce ambiguity during quotation and supplier assessment.

Product Knowledge
What Is Fresh Thai Lemongrass?
Fresh Thai Lemongrass on this page refers to the fresh culinary product identified botanically as Cymbopogon citratus (DC.) Stapf, a perennial aromatic grass in the family Poaceae.
For commercial sourcing, the fresh stalks are relevant to Thai and Southeast Asian food applications. This product should not be confused with citronella grasses or with separate commercial forms such as dried lemongrass, lemongrass powder, extracts or essential oil.
