An Unforgettable HERB Road Tour | *Bonus*- Meet The Duppy Who Speaks!

In this video on what I call our HERB road tour, not only did we enjoy a couple healthy rounds of freshly picked Otaheite apples after running into another nest of Duct flowers on the side of the road, I happen to meet the duppy, who showed us up to 20 interesting and usual Jamaican medicinal herbs!
These include:
▶ Fever grass
▶ Vervain
▶ Shama Macka
▶ Guava Leaf
▶ Trumpet Leaf
▶ Arrow Root
▶ Wild Lap or Wild App (Verified Correct name is Wild Hops)
▶ Never die
▶ Strong Back
▶ Spanish Needle
▶ Cowfoot leaf
▶ Wild Thyme
▶ Dandelion
▶ Baseeda Tree.. and the most interesting of all..
▶ The Fits Weed!
And there was a lot more, including our 'coconut moment', watch, enjoy and learn.
By the way, did you know that Jamaican apples have some amazing health benefits?

24:13 that herb is known as chandon banie or culantro. It has the same flavor of cilantro and can be used as a substitute. It is very prevalent in Trinidadian dishes, they cook almost everything with it. Some people called it shadow baani.

[@myislandjamaica]

Thanks for sharing

[@himaytt]

Yes. Trinbagonians love it @24:13 in most dishes especially curry. It is called Shadon Beni, culantro or bandanya. It has a flavor similar to cilantro but stronger.

[@helenegrant1432]

Correct.

[@neattylulu9817]

Chadeau benois....loads of it grows wild in almost all of east and west indian islands..

It is also called spirit weed, as a child that is the herb , people would use for tea or bath, for persons who think dead spirit were fooling around them.

FITS WEED.. known in Trinidad and Tobago as SHADO BENI or CHADO BENI also called BANDANIA used as a fresh seasoning to season different meats and wild meats.. Especially used in the preparation of curry dishes when added it gives the food a very nice flavor . It can also be blended to make a sauce or added to your grinded fresh green seasoning to flavor different dishes.. I enjoyed watching your herbal tour video it was very informative.. God bless you ! ....Manners and Respect..

[@myislandjamaica]

Great 👍. Thanks Rhonda

[@gisellechristian4054]

@24:11 Its a herb called Shadow- benni, used to season meats for cooking alongside other herbs especially in curry foods. Thats what enhances the great taste. Also we use it in chow, mango, pineapple etc, the leaves are chopped or minced the same way before adding. I heard boiling the root its used for high blood pressure or diabeties to name a few.🇹🇹

D long leaf smell-bad bush name is chadon beni, shadow beni, fit weed(Tobago), spirit wee(Jamaica), bhandania(Trinidad), culantro(Mexico), recao(Phillipines)... In Trinidad and Tobago, most meals are not complete unless this is added as seasoning... Boil the root for help with cold symptoms... If you know Cilantro, you may find that this Fitweed/Culantro/chadon beni is like a more stronger version of the same Cilantro flavour

[@myislandjamaica]

You know you stuff. Thanks

[@jenniferbeathea7906]

I cook with this all the time I like it better than cilantro. It's great

Hi I think the plant you called wild apps is actually wild hops. Hops is used as an ingredient in our Jamaican drink “Malta”

[@myislandjamaica]

You are absolutely 💯 right

[@blackbway]

Ohhh! That is hops???!!! I know this plant ever since I was a baby, but never made the link. I learned about hops as an ingredient in malts and beer when I came here to the U.S. I was always thinking, only if hops grow in Jamaica, I could make my own. Homade beer when I go back home. Now I know where to find them. They grow like crazy in a field near my home.

Those wasted apples lying on the ground could be harvested and fermented to make the Jamaican version of apple cider vinegar
