Description

(Porophyllum ruderale var. macrocephalum).  This fast-growing and powerfully flavored herb has been gaining increasing popularity in recent times. With its roots deep in Mexican culinary traditions, it’s often used sparingly and simmered into pots of beans during cooking to impart a distinctive, robust flavor. Often likened to cilantro but with a more pronounced soapy taste, Papaloquelite is sometimes described as cilantro on steroids due to its intense aroma and bold flavor profile.It is also notable for its grand garden appeal. The grey-blue leaves are shaped like delicate butterfly wings, lending an aesthetic charm to beds, borders, pots, and containers. However, unlike cilantro, which tends to bolt and go to seed quickly in hot weather, this pungent beauty thrives in the heat, making it a reliable choice for gardeners in warm climates. This round leaf form is prevalent in Mexico but also very popular in Bolivia, and can be used both raw for their freshness in salads and salsas or cooked into soups and sauces to add depth and flavorful twists to meals. These plants are hardy and resistant to extremely high temperatures and are relatively pest resistant. Sow seeds after the last frost and plant out at a spacing of 12 to 18 inches. Harvest leaves as required once plants reach about 8 to 10 inches in height. Harvesting leaves close to the central stem will encourage continuous growth.
