Ceylon Lemongrass
The Aromatic Power of Ceylon Lemongrass
Ceylon Lemongrass (Cymbopogon citratus) is one of Sri Lanka’s most aromatic exports. Known for its citrusy fragrance and therapeutic versatility, we offer lemongrass in three export-grade formats: fresh stalks, dried leaves, and essential oil. Naturally grown, hand-harvested, and processed to retain full potency, our lemongrass is ideal for food, tea, cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, and wellness applications.
Our lemongrass is cultivated in the highland and lowland zones of Sri Lanka without synthetic pesticides. It contains high levels of **citral**, the key bioactive responsible for its antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory, and aromatic properties.
Fresh Lemongrass Stalks
Our **fresh lemongrass** is harvested in the early morning to preserve essential oil content. It is quickly cleaned and packed in moisture-retaining, food-grade export cartons. Ideal for culinary use in curries, broths, soups, and marinades, Sri Lankan lemongrass provides a lemony zing without bitterness.
Export buyers love the long shelf life (10–15 days chilled) and oil-rich inner cores that outperform Southeast Asian grades in both aroma and taste.
Available in whole stalks or custom-cut packs (MOQ applies).
Dried Lemongrass Leaves
Our **dried lemongrass** is naturally sun-dried and carefully hand-cut to retain volatile compounds. Suitable for herbal teas, spice blends, potpourri, and bath infusions, our cut leaves have a golden-green appearance, strong citral aroma, and < 10% moisture for maximum shelf stability.
Ideal for brands looking to create lemongrass-based **detox teas**, wellness infusions, or flavoring extracts. We offer cut & sifted (C/S), whole dried, or powdered lemongrass in food-grade or pharmaceutical-grade standards.
Custom mesh size and bulk packaging available.
Lemongrass Essential Oil
Our **steam-distilled lemongrass oil** is rich in **citral (75–85%)**, making it highly valued for aromatherapy, insect repellent products, massage oils, and natural cosmetics. It’s clear yellow, aromatic, and free from synthetic solvents or additives.
Popular in diffuser blends, skin toners, pain balms, and natural cleansers, our lemongrass oil is tested for microbial safety and GC-MS profile.
Available in 30ml, 100ml, 1L, and 25L containers.
