Bundle and Wrap:
Group the leaves into small bundles.

Storage Tips:
Refrigerator:
Store the wrapped bundle in the vegetable drawer. Lasts up to 3 weeks.
Freezer:
For longer storage, place the wrapped leaves in a freezer-safe bag. Keeps well for up to 6 months. No need to thaw before use in soups or teas.
How We Like to Use Stored Lemongrass:
Add frozen lemongrass directly to broths, curries, or tea infusions.
Use fresh refrigerated lemongrass in marinades or stir-fries for best aroma.
