Grow a truck load of sawtooth coriander 🤠🥬

[@BettyFL]

As a Trinidadian living in Florida, I am extremely impressed and smiling from ear to ear at your chadon beni. Your entire garden is so lovely and lush🌱❤

[@vintagefoodfarm]

That is so cool! It's my favourite herb🥰😋

[@CraigMatadeen]

As a Caribbean person living in Europe, I'm jealous of your Bandania (Saw Tooth Coriander) patch. It looks amazing.

[@vintagefoodfarm]

We love it! 😋😋😋It grows like a weed here. It is all through the lawn and we don't even care lol

[@CraigMatadeen]

@@vintagefoodfarm It's the same back home in the Caribbean as well. It grows like a weed there also and is used in many of our dishes, especially the ones with meat. It's a struggle growing them here in Europe because of the cold. Indoors can be battle with fungus gnats and outdoors when sown in the warm weather are loved by slugs and snails.

[@vintagefoodfarm]

That's such a shame! 😫

[@tuskmite]

Interesting fact: sawtooth coriander doesn't contain the chemical compound that causes people (cursed) with certain gene to taste it as "soapy" so it's a great alternative to people who have that gene and want to experience what coriander tastes like. I've tried to introduce it to some friends who can't have coriander due to the soapy flavour but there's probably something psychological in it as well as they can't even get pass the strong aroma. One of my absolute favourite herbs. Trying to grow it here in FNQ.

[@vintagefoodfarm]

Wow! very cool😁 That is really interesting! Thank you so much! You will have no trouble growing it up here! Our lawn is now half sawtooth 😂When we mow it smells like salsa 😋😋😋

[@NoNopeAndNo]

You guys have done what most humans have forgotten to do, you've adapted to your environment, made the most of it 🌱

[@vintagefoodfarm]

Oh Wow! That is a moment! We have 🤠This is why I love KZbin!😊

[@chiarad4080]

Just realised that culantro/saw tooth coriander is also called chadon beni - which is available in the Caribbean ! So glad as I'm getting tired of struggling with regular coriander ! 😊😊

[@vintagefoodfarm]

It's so good!😁So much easier to grow than normal coriander😊🇰🇭

[@marisaphoenix1893]

I love your garden and the variety of perennial edibles you’re growing ❤

[@vintagefoodfarm]

It so much easier! 😊and low maintenance!!!😁Max productivity for minimal effort😊

[@robtaylorshotwater]

Love the random chook appearances! Another informative vid, thank you.

[@vintagefoodfarm]

Absolute pleasure Rob! 🤠Glad you are enjoying the chooks 😊🐔

[@MeowPictures]

Thanks so much for this video. I live in Far North Queensland and just recently discovered this plant in the middle of my lawn by accident. I was so happy to come across your video and your channel. 🤩

[@vintagefoodfarm]

Awesome! So glad you like the channel! Have a great day! 🤠

[@rabiahamid-massey8535]

Thank you for this post. love your enthusiasm and cheerful demeanour ❤. You literally have and Asian fresh grocery store on your farm😊. I'm glad I found your video on sawtooth coriander as I've just bought 1 baby plant online. Obsessively babying it to make sure it grows well. I am in Adelaide opposite weather to you...Wish me luck😅

[@vintagefoodfarm]

Awesome!!! 🤠So glad you liked the video!!! Sawtooth coriander is the bomb!!! We have just found a recipe that we can't stop making where you blitz the flower/seed heads with oil, garlic and lemon juice to make a green sauce/pesto!! It is fantastic 🤠Good luck with your plant and let us know how you go 😁Have a great day!

[@rabiahamid-massey8535]

@vintagefoodfarm thanks for the recipe, sounds delicious. It'll be a while before I can harvest my plant...

[@honey-bee-farmstead]

Absolutely love the taste of sawtooth coriander, I've always known it as Vietnamese coriander and is more coriander-ish in flavour too

[@vintagefoodfarm]

It is soooo under rated! it is so fragrant and yummy!🤠

[@alinabladow1775]

OMG I’m so glad I found your channel. I have so much culantro growing but didn’t really know what I could do with it. I love the aroma of it and it grows everywhere in my garden. I live in central Florida in the U.S. 😃

[@vintagefoodfarm]

Welcome!! 🥰Florida!!! That's amazing!! We have such similar climates! 😁A new thing we now do is take the spikey seed heads into a bullet blender with garlic, oil, lime juice and salt and blitz it into a green coriander pesto sauce that taste amazing!!! Because we are using the flowers the leaves stay nice a big! win win 😁👍Have a great day!! 😊

[@alinabladow1775]

@@vintagefoodfarm, I like the idea of planting the culantro at the base of the papaya plant. Will do that tomorrow in my garden as well. 🥰

[@vintagefoodfarm]

Awesome!!! 😁👍

[@Narylifestyle]

Hi, where do you live ? The tropical vegetables and herbs grow so well.

[@vintagefoodfarm]

Far North Queensland, Australia 😁🦘It is a tropical gardening paradise😊

[@tehMyychael]

Mine keep dying, I will try your useful tips thanks!

[@vintagefoodfarm]

Hope it works😁! 👍

[@samtheman3071]

Love the video. I noticed your lawn doesn't look like a regular lawn. What type of lawn do you have? I'm looking for a low maintenance lawn. Thank you.

[@vintagefoodfarm]

I have no idea 😊It is a local broad leaf grass that grows everywhere naturally in Far North Queensland. It is very nice but I've never seen it as seed or turf

[@CraigMatadeen]

It looks like St. Augustine grass. They're usually grown more from sod/plugs than from seeds.

[@ronj5714]

You just gave a wealth of info right there. Mine is in full sun here in Florida & the leaves are so sharp they could reach out & bit you. Also, mine has tons of seeds without too many leaves. My leaves that I do have are tiny. I got my plant at a box store here in the States, wonder if you have a different species. I also have a 50% shade cloth, but the way the wind blows, think it exposes whole plant to full sun. Thank you for this information. I will be writing those tips in my garden book I keep for gardening. Love this plant in so many recipes, especially making salsa for tacos. The flavor is a bit stronger than cilantro, but that bolts too quickly. No wonder why. :)

[@vintagefoodfarm]

😁That's great it was useful! I don't think there are many varieties around but there could be. I love it for cooking too! We eat it nearly every day 😋😋😋So happy you liked the video!

[@Nursemomma7]

Mine is wilting. Any suggestions to save it

[@vintagefoodfarm]

It could just be the cold and it will come back? Where have you got it planted? 🤠

[@northumberlandacres]

That's my favourite herb❤❤❤

[@vintagefoodfarm]

l love it too! 😋

[@angelitafernandez9944]

Thank you so much for all your info!where are you in the country?

[@vintagefoodfarm]

Our Pleasure!!! We are in Far North Queensland just in from Cairns😊🤠

[@michellam435]

Thank you so much for this informative video. I was concerned about the serrated edges of this plant. I will utilize your tips for growing. Best of luck to you on your lovely farm.

[@vintagefoodfarm]

Fantastic!!! 😁Glad it was helpful! Happy growing!😊

[@braddoty55]

Beautiful garden! Looking to add sawtooth coriander to the garden this year. Side note: hope the lemongrass I planted doesn't get that large. 😂 That's like the 3rd thing in that planter I've said that about.

[@vintagefoodfarm]

Thank you! 🥰Hahaha! just cut it down for mulch! 😁😁😁

[@lindacestodio7668]

Where do you live?

[@vintagefoodfarm]

Far North Queensland, Australia😁

[@matthewfairley4101]

Just a random guess but with that accent are you perhaps Australian

[@vintagefoodfarm]

What accent? 🤠🦘

[@matthewfairley4101]

@@vintagefoodfarm i have a broad Scot’s accent but I genuinely cant hear it. In your case I think you have your fingers in to your ears. P.S. never change because who wants to live in a bland monochrome world

[@vintagefoodfarm]

That is hilarious 😂

[@SanatioMedicalPractice-df9cu]

Throw salt on the toads

[@vintagefoodfarm]

We have thousands!!! The salt would destroy the soil! 😁👍

[@JADEYWADEYMAKADEYPATADEY]

I live in Houston, Texas, do you think the seeds that fall off from the plant will grow after the winter?

[@vintagefoodfarm]

They could 😁You would just need to treat it like a self seeding annual. Let us know how you go. It would be great to know!🥰 You have hot summers so it would be interesting
