Exploring Australian native flavours
Good to Know
Is Maarr Native Lemongrass the same as conventional lemongrass?
No. Maarr is an Australian native species, distinct from the conventional lemongrass commonly used in Asian cooking. Both offer citrus aromatics, but their flavour profiles and botanical characteristics differ.
Is Maarr naturally caffeine-free?
Yes. Pure Maarr Native Lemongrass contains no tea leaves and is naturally caffeine-free.
Can I use Maarr instead of lemon juice?
Maarr adds lemon fragrance rather than lemon juice's acidity. It works beautifully when you want a citrus aroma without making a dish sour.
Can I cook with it?
Yes. It can be infused into liquids, broths, sauces, curries, syrups and desserts.
Should I strain the leaves?
For dried, coarse-cut Maarr, we recommend infusing and straining the leaves, particularly in teas, broths and desserts, to achieve a smooth finished texture.
Can I enjoy Maarr hot or cold?
Both. Enjoy it as a warming herbal infusion, or brew a slightly stronger tea, chill and serve over ice. It also combines beautifully with sparkling water for refreshing botanical drinks.
