I have learned from my late grandmother that lemongrass or tanglad as commonly called here in the Philippines, has many celebrated uses. It can help prevent cancer, speedy cure to fungal infection and mosquito bite not to mention its savory goodness when added as food flavoring to most of our dishes here. Still I learned from her how to get the most of this tanglad whenever I do my cooking lessons with her. No doubt I still love to include tanglad in my cooking because I can easily find it in my backyard and even when I have to buy it, it's just so cheap that sometimes the price is just equivalent to a word of thanks.
