>> I bought this herb from a show recently. It looks a bit weedy ! >> Could some one post some more information on this herb, or point >> me in the right direction ? > Vietnamese coriander is just coriender LEAF, not the seed which most > people are used to. Latino's use it also, but call it Cilantro No it isn't, it's a completely different species; tastes and smells nothing whatever like coriander/cilantro. The leaves look like small coleus leaves (bicoloured) and taste hot and peppery. Temperamental thing to grow up here, either indoors or out, but you can't buy the leaf in shops so that's the only option. The answer is possibly just to buy a lot of plants to compensate for its poor productivity. ========> Email to "jc" at this site; email to "bogus" will bounce. <======== Jack Campin: 11 Third Street, Newtongrange, Midlothian EH22 4PU; 0131 6604760 http://www.purr.demon.co.uk/purrhome.html food intolerance data and recipes, freeware logic fonts for the Macintosh, and Scots traditional music resources
