Long Coriander 2000 Seeds, Thai Parsley, Culantro Seeds, recao, Long Coriander, Mexican Coriander, Thai Parsley, NGO GAI (2,000 Seeds=1 g) by STSEED

What you get is plain coriander seeds (see attached picture). Some call culantro coriander but it is certainly not that type of coriander. Culantro seeds are tiny, unevenly shaped. If you have a handful they look like a clump of dry dirt. Coriander seeds are round which is what you get.And then there's the fact that these are not planting seeds which are selected for their ability to sprout. These are spice seeds from the supermarket. A good percentage of them is broken, another good chunk is full of holes from insects. The second picture is the actual package I received. You can see the broken, all the dust from the insect damage, and more than a few with insect holes.

This is not culantro (recao). I bought this and I noticed that this plant did not look like recao.

My seeds finally sprouted but it did take at least a month for that to happen. Mine are now very small seedlings so I cannot yet comment that they are Culantro plants. I am hopeful!

I was excited about this purchase, as this is a staple to make Sofrito which is the main base in lots of puertorican dishes. However, nothing sprouted, and I have to say I'm a pretty good gardener and grow lots of fruits, vegetable and herbs. I planted this in many herb beds and at the bottom of my tomato plants, I sprinkled water daily, with a mister bottle. In one of my beds I got 3 little basil plants. I don't know if seeds from my other basil plants flew or this is what I was given as Cilantro. Don't waste your money!

No problems on my side. Sprinkled on top of mini-pots and misted every day for around 10 days, with a plastic cover over to keep humidity up. I didnt count the seeds I used because they are very small, but I had 1 - 10 seedlings in each of my six pots. I transplanted them outside after 3 weeks of misting in my window pots in order to reduce the hassle, but suspect they would do best with around a month of watering every day or two.Looking forward to cooking with these!

Warning! This product comes from China

They were too large to be cualantro seeds but I planted them anyway. Nothing g came up not 1 sprouted. Will not be buying these seeds online again.

I’ve planted half of the seeds in pots and it took more than a month to germinate due to perhaps the spring weather. These seeds are for warmer climates for mine germinated and sprouted in May. You have to be patient. I didn’t really replant them after they sprouted that why the leaves are small. But I replanted a few on the ground and the leaves were significantly bigger than the potted ones. I’ve included pictures to show the seeds that I received were actually culantro after seeing people complain that they received the wrong seeds. These pictures are from September 8th 2019 after I harvested some of the leaves.
