About
Long sawtooth-leafed herb with a flavor like cilantro but stronger; common in Caribbean and Southeast Asian cooking.
Growing
Heat tolerant unlike cilantro. Prefers rich, moist soil and shade. Pinch flower stalks to keep leaves coming.
Harvest
Cut the outer leaves at the base once they reach 6–8 in long, taking the longest, darkest mature leaves from the outside of the rosette and leaving the central crown to regrow. Remove any flower stalk promptly to keep new leaves tender. Plants regenerate quickly.
