A quick question about culantro

[FoodHacker]

Does anyone know where I would be able to get culantro? ... From what my wife tells me(she's from Honduras) culantro is similar in taste to cilantro only stronger I have done searches online but I have cume up empty handed ... I did find that culantro spoil very quickly(lasts around 3 weeks I think)
Any help would greatly appreciated.

I have personal experience with Nichol's Garden Nursery in Albany OR. I have been happy with everything I have bought from them--that was all in person, but their mail orders have a great reputation too, from what I have heard. A few of their products I especially liked were Corsican mint, Thai basil, rosemary, two varieties of sage, apple mint, oregano (all plants) and also some lavender oil.

Culantro is not generally sold in regular grocery stores unless they serve a large hispanic population.
Search out your nearest latino market. Usually they will have culantro. I have also found it in asian supermarkets.

It might be fun to try to grow some. Thanks for the tips Yeti. I've been looking for corsican mint to plant between our paving stones for quite a while.

Call me Crazy, but I would just try your local garden Nursery, they may have what you are looking for, fingers crossed, Good Luck.

Try an Asian market. We have a large Vietnamese community here in the New Orleans area. My Vietmanese friend said it is an regular staple on their home table. He also said his mom always has it in the garden.
