Whatever the heck lemongrass actually does, it sure tastes delicious

It never seems to get its own one-man show, its always lumped with at least like 5 other ingredients so I can't isolate it but I'm sure you're correct. I love lemon + I love grass so ya

I think the taste can be somewhat prominent in Thai curries and soups at least
