Culantro
« on: October 21, 2016, 01:56:57 PM »
OK, so I got come culantro seeds from Puerto Rico. That's CUL-antro, not CILantro. It's a plant that tastes like cilantro apparently, but does better in the tropics. Very much needed, because I have grown a ton of cilantro plants, only to have each one of them die shortly after becoming a nice leafy plant. They don't like it here.
Haven't planted the seeds yet. Anyone know about or have experience growing culantro?

These are easy to grow and require very little care. They are excellent when cooked in beans and soups and fresh in salads and spring rolls.

Thanks for the info - awesome to know! I got busy and didn't get around to planting them yet, but they're in an airtight sealed packet. Should be planting soon. I hope they turn out as great as they sound from your description.
