Culantro - Whole-head Harvest
This product is currently Back Ordered. Please check back again or contact us for more details.
Uprooting the entire plant at once is called whole-head harvesting (or single-harvest). When you pull it out roots and all, it is simply referred to as pulling or uprooting the plant.
🌿 Product Name: Culantro / Sawtooth Coriander (Ngò Gai / Mùi Tàu) 100g +/-30g
Scientific Name: Eryngium foetidum
👉 Harvest Date: 60–90 days to first harvest of outer leaves; established plants can then be picked continuously (10–15 leaves per harvest, every 1–2 weeks) until flowering
💚 Natural flavors: A stronger, more pungent amplification of cilantro's flavor — earthier and longer-lingering, with citrus, anise, and a musky, almost medicinal edge. Holds up much better than cilantro in long-cooked dishes (soups, stews, broths) rather than being purely a fresh garnish.
