Lemon grass (Cymbopogon flexuosus) have long leaves, but the part used as aromatic herb is the stalk.

Every plant has a cluster of stalks, like long bulbs. You should harvest the thicker ones, simply cutting off them while the others will continue to grow.

---

If you accidentally pull some smaller stalks, you can reset them as new plants. This is also a way to reproduce the plant.

---

Clean the stalk, discarding the external leaves, like you do for leeks.

A lemon grass stalk can be put in a glass of water and stored for a couple of days.
