Lemongrass
Lemongrass is native to tropical regions such as Africa, Asia, Australia, and Oceania, where it is traditionally used for medicinal, cosmetic, and culinary purposes.
In Eastern India and Sri Lanka, lemongrass was historically used to make soups, curries, and a local drink called "fever tea," which was intended to treat fevers and skin infections.
It began to spread in 1905 when a Sri Lankan researcher established a lemongrass research farm.
It began to be grown commercially in Florida and Haiti in 1947.
