Fabulous new herb from Mexico. This is really a type of cilantro only stronger. Leaves possess huge oil glands which give papalo its potent flavor and scent. The flavor gets stronger the older the leaves get . Harvest when young for a milder flavor. In Mexico it is 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. | |
