Transform your culinary creations with our Culantro Plant, a vibrant herb that brings a unique flavor to your dishes. Native to Mexico, Central, and South America, culantro (also known as recao, long coriander, or ngo gai) is cherished for its robust, aromatic scent and distinctive taste, making it a staple in Caribbean, Latin American, and Asian cuisines.

Key Features:

  • Strong Flavor: Culantro has a more intense flavor than cilantro, making it an excellent seasoning for meats, vegetables, and chutneys.
  • Versatile Usage: A key ingredient in traditional recipes like Puerto Rican sofrito and various Asian dishes, culantro enhances the taste of soups, stews, and marinades.
  • Easy to Grow: This hardy herb thrives in warm climates and can be grown in pots or gardens. It prefers well-drained soil and partial shade.

Growing Tips:

  • Planting: Start indoors 2-4 weeks before the last frost or sow directly in warm soil. Keep the soil moist for optimal germination.
  • Harvesting: Cut leaves at the base before flowering for the best flavor. Regular harvesting encourages growth.
