From Farm to Harvest
Falcon Herbs’ lemongrass is cultivated under close agricultural supervision, benefiting from Egypt’s favorable climate for strong stalk development and a fresh, citrus-like aromatic profile.
- Cultivation: Grown with careful irrigation and soil management to preserve the plant’s natural aroma and essential oil content.
- Harvest: Stalks/leaves are cut at peak maturity, when aromatic oil concentration (including citral) is at its strongest.
- Post-Harvest Handling: Harvested lemongrass is dried under controlled conditions to preserve its color and aroma while avoiding degradation from direct sun exposure.
- Cutting: Dried lemongrass is cut to the required size:
- 0.5 cm
- 1 cm
- 2 cm
- Cut size available according to customer request
- Cleaning & Sorting: Product passes through mechanical and manual sorting to remove foreign matter, ensuring a clean, uniform final product.
- Quality Control: Each batch undergoes laboratory testing (microbiological, pesticide residue/MRL, and physical quality parameters) prior to export, in line with EU and international food safety standards.
