(Papaloquelite) Fabulous herb from Mexico. This
is really a type of coriander, only stronger. Leaves possess huge oil glands
which give papalo its potent flavor and scent. The flavor gets stronger the
older the leaves get. Grows up to 2 m (8') high, but can be harvested at a much
smaller stage when the flavor is milder. In Mexico, used fresh with soups and
stews, grilled meats, beans and salads, much like cilantro. Papalo is not
cooked, only used fresh or added at the last moment. If you are a cilantro
aficionado, this is a must!
Price: $2.95/pkt
