Eco seeds are Open Pollinate or Non Hybrid seed with no chemical coatings and GE
Open pollinated means you can save seed from your own plants and expect it to
grow “true to type” - provided it hasn’t cross-pollinated. Unlike the hybrid varieties popular today- seed from hybrids will not grow true to type - you have to buy new seed each year.
Lemongrass is a potent herb that can help treat insomnia, stomach and respiratory disorders, fever, and infections. The possible antioxidant activity of the lemongrass may boost the immune system and protects against antibiotic-resistant Staphylococcus aureus. It may even help in balancing cholesterol levels, managing diabetes and promoting healthy skin. It's also used extensively in aromatherapy and can help combat fatigue, anxiety, and bad body odor.
The strong, refreshing & distinctly citrusy flavor of lemongrass is also used in teas and cocktails. But it’s even better to know how good it is for your health!
Lemongrass contains antioxidants, flavonoids, and phenolic compounds such as luteolin, glycosides, quercetin, kaempferol, elemicin, catechol, chlorogenic acid, and caffeic acid. Lemongrass has a main component of lemonal/citral, which has antifungal and anti-microbial qualities.
Lemongrass is an aromatic storehouse of essential nutrients providing an array of health benefits. The USDA FoodData Central shows it is a source of essential vitamins and minerals such as vitamin A, B-vitamins, folate, and vitamin C, potassium, magnesium, phosphorus, manganese, zinc, and iron. [8]
