This is for one packet of 50+ Papalo seeds ( Porophyllum ruderale ssp. Macrocephalum ). It is also known as Quelite, Quillquina, summer cilantro, and Bolivian coriander. The leaves of this plant from Central America are used for flavoring in guacamole, tacos, stews or salsa, or eaten raw in salads. The flavor is distinctive and pungent and is often compared to arugula and cilantro with citrus. This herb is like a strong cilantro, used in soups, stews, on meats, beans and salads. Leaves possess huge oil glands which give papalo its potent flavor and scent. The flavor gets stronger the older the leaves get. Papalo is not cooked, only used fresh or added at the last moment. If you like using cilantro, you must give papalo a try! Grows in full sun or partial shade. It can take average soil. Plant spring to summer in warm moist soil. Usually sprouts in a few days. Grows up to 2 m (8') high, but can be harvested at a much smaller stage when the flavor is milder. Seeds are packed for 2024. Thanks for looking !
