- Culantro (Eryngium foetidum) is a biennial herb commonly grown in the Caribbean and Central America. In Puerto Rico, where it is used in a variety of dishes, it is called recao. Other names for this herb include Puerto Rican coriander, black Benny, saw leaf herb, Mexican coriander, fitweed, or spirit weed. Here's a fun fact: culantro is a key ingredient in the popular sauce sofrito, which also includes garlic, onions, and peppers.

Definitely growing wild up here and my wife will be making lots of sofrito.
Your garden is beautiful. I planted for the first time ajíes y están hermosas mis plantas en el balcón en tiestos de tela y están casi 2 pies de alto y llenas de ajíes. Vivo en Chicago y el próximo año voy a sembrar culantro🇵🇷

Yes, if you can't find culantro (recao) then cilantro can be used instead for sofrito. My wife has made it like that too in the past.
I don’t put tomatoes in my sofrito. Never have. Your plants look awesome Ovi!
Red Ant problem 😂👍. Beautifully kept garden I can smell the aroma of Sofrito. Wow, gandules too. I used to make Sofrito now I wait for family to bring....still waiting.😂 I preferred the green Sofrito no tomatoes but doesn't matter use both. Thank u for sharing ✌️❤️
My wife made some sofrito today with some of the culantro leaves and it was amazing.
@@oviduran I can only imagine the aroma. 😊🙌
Absolutely love your garden, so inspiring
Thanks for this video. Love pigeon peas. Will try it next year.
Nice garden, congratulations , great. Campesino.
Hola ovi I love sofrito . Ovi your Garden 🪴 looks amazing woooow 👍👍👍
Good morning. I have a PCS move to upstate NY. I thought it was not possible to grow plants there because of the weather, but you showed me a lot. I would like to meet you when I get there. Good job.
Wow Beautiful awesome all the plants and farm looking fantastic ❤❤❤ Saludos
Ovi you have a green 👍 thumb. Gid bless you
Looking great Ovi! Great gardening tips. :) Culantro is the only way to go!! Makes my mouth water! My gardening this year has been a lot more preparation than planting. Fruit trees will be going in soon!
Preparation always takes a long time but you will be rewarded handsomely in the future. Great feeling. My wife used the culantro today for a sofrito used in an arroz con pollo. Amazing.
@@oviduran makes me hungry! 😂
Beautiful Worth your time and effort🎉
Beautiful garden. I have one tomatoes plant and blueberry bush. Tomatoes doing well but only 1 blueberry 🙃
They’re beautiful plants Ovi. You sure have a green thumb.. I never put tomatoes in my sofrito reason being that tomatoes are acid and your sofrito may not last for too long. If you’re going to use right away I’ll be okay. Muchas bendiciones para ti y tu esposa.❤️🇵🇷
My wife made some today but without tomatoes and added it to arroz con pollo. It was amazing.
Thank you Ovi!
Dang I'm so jealous of your garden! I started my garden 2-3wks. late this year & hoping it turns out well...
Never too late. Wish you luck with your garden.
Saludos, Ovi. Precioso tu sembrado. JAJAJA, me encanta la hormiga. Bendiciones
Esa hormiga esta del caray.
Saludos! Tu huerto esta hermoso! Mi esposo y yo te seguimos desde Rhode island.
Bendiciones!🇵🇷
Awesome garden,may God continue blessing your garden 🙏 ❤
OH my goodness 😮 what a bountiful garden!! Soooooo jealous! 😊
garden looks beautiful!! I have better luck with yellow marigolds if I get them from seed packets. they are bigger and bushy. I made agua fresca with cucumber limon and mint (mojito mint)
Sounds great! I will try the seeds next year.
Hola Ovi me alegra verte bien . Gracias por mostrar tu huerto. Esta hermoso y bien cuidado. Tienes buenas manos para la agricultura. Dios los bendiga siempre.🥊🧤
Me gusta pasar tiempo en el huerto aunque sean de cinco a diez minutos cada dia. Es relajante.
Carmen sabes si Ovi esta bien porque no he visto videos nuevos Ovi dejanos saber
Que es Lime desease?
@@lillian8204 Lilian tengo entendido que es una bacteria q se transmiten por las garrapatas.
@@lillian8204 En el video de mañana Sabado explico lo que tengo.
Ovi the garden looks beautiful! Thank you for sharing the progress with your subscribers. God bless and I hope you are feeling better. Peace.
Thanks. Feeling better but will be doing a video about that in the near future.
@@oviduran thank God Hermano.
So beautiful garden
The garden is amazing looks so healthy and abundant. I also grow kale and my first year growing collard. The leaves are gigantic but they have some small holes. I harvested my tomatoes but this week has been extremely hot(99-103 heat index) and the leaves are brown. You win some and loose some.Thanks for the tour love it.
My kale has the small holes and I cut them back completely today and fed to the chickens. The new leaves will now start growing. May take a few weeks but we are OK with it. Our temps here get nowhere near 90 and all this week will be in the 70's.
Looks great. Thought i gave up gardening but you are motivating me to cleanup and try again next year.
I've grown culantro and peppers in buckets too. An idea if you don't have the raised beds.
Ovi its been a while since your last video, hope is everything is ok. Been following you since you started .. God bless you
Thanks for being such a loyal follower over the years. I appreciate it. I’ve had one major problem over the past month or so. I will create a video soon and explain. Hopefully in the next few days.
@@oviduran pronta recuperación ❤️🩹 Dios te de mucha salud y coje lo suave. Primero tú salud y tu familia.🥰❤️🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
So informative! I’ve never been able to grow Recao here in California. The cilantro grows wild like weeds here. What’s your secret to grow Recao? Same with ajicitos dulce. Can’t grow them to save my life 😂.
Do you have a video showing how? Muchas gracias! ❤️🇵🇷❤️
No secret. I planted my seeds indoors back in March and then transplanted the small plants outdoors after last freeze in May. Recao seeds takes about 21 days to germinate which is a very long time. Keep the seeds moist at all times. You can see how I did it in this video: ua-cam.com/video/4LzOBRSsSug/v-deo.html
YOU ARE IN A NORTHERN CLIMATE!!!!I want to grow a sofrito garden in the north (Cleveland) just not sure how just yet..... culantro is temperamental even in the ideal conditions. Sometimes when they have their perfect conditions they are prolific but its hard to get it right when recreating it. When the winter jits do you do anything special to your sofrito garden? any plants that dont comeback naturally ? I would love to grow the criolla de cocina peppers .... where did you find the seeds?
I've done a few videos about it last March and April and will continue doing them in the near future. Culantro is very hard to grow, so I start my seeds indoors in early March and plant them outside in late May or early June. I have a short growing season up here. When the winter hits us here in upstate NY everything dies and I have to replant from seeds or small plants from a local nursery. The only thing that stays alive (root wise) is the Kale and Swiss Chard. They grow again in April without replanting. This video here has the planting instructions and in the description you will see where I get my seeds. ua-cam.com/video/4LzOBRSsSug/v-deo.htmlsi=Q-6T3mi7GehEm8f3
I have lots of pineapple 🍍 and tomatoes 🍅 and peppers 🌶️ 👍
Pineapples are a great idea. Can you grow gandules where you are?
@@oviduran yes 🪴
@@oviduran ovi r you feeling better now . Don’t forget the truck 🛻 I remember 🙏
Can you use the ones you cutting off,can you show how to grow recao please thank you
Only the long leaves. I've done a couple planting videos this year and here is one of them: ua-cam.com/video/4LzOBRSsSug/v-deo.html&ab_channel=OviDuran
Hey Ovi, it’s been a while since you’ve been to PR. Do you know when you’re going back? I miss those PR videos you used to do.
Thanks. I will probably return in a year or two but only to visit family. I don’t see myself recording any more videos there now that homesteading has become my passion.
Beautiful garden God bless. Do you sell your seeds?
No, I don't sell seeds. I get these seeds from a place called Desde Mi Huerto and here is their website: www.desdemihuerto.com/. The culantro seeds take a very long time to germinate and grow. This year I planted my seeds indoors the first week of March and will be planting outdoors in mid-May.
Hey ovi
Hope you are feeling better. Nice garden. My wife ask me if you sell
Culantros leaves because she does sofrito
Edwin, I can't sell the leaves but I can send you some seeds in the mail. I have some spare seeds. Send me your address and I will send ASAP.
Wao gandules in Albany Ny?
How the heck are you growing such beautiful plants please tell us what kind of soil you use. How do you get them to stay that healthy looking? I’ve tried growing this for three years. I’ve not been successful yet.
There may be a few reasons. In a couple of my other videos you can see what I used in my raised beds. I used wood, wood chips, compost and peat moss. But the compost is the most important and I buy that locally and it is delivered in a truck. Also keep in mind that it doesn't really get too hot up here and the temperatures in the mountains stay mostly in the 80's all summer long. And it rains a lot up here.
For recao you have to start growing them indoors in February or early March and then plant outdoors now in May. I live in Saratoga County NY and will be planting some outdoors by the 15th. You can see how I did it last year in this video here: ua-cam.com/video/4LzOBRSsSug/v-deo.htmlsi=SE-94L7B7F6HXw8L
And this one: ua-cam.com/video/EW1HjwQPFXk/v-deo.htmlsi=qTwB9pPfHz1X3ur8
Your gandules ,are they the colorful ones? I have the green ones that have an average of 6 to 7 seeds in each pod . My neighbor had the plant. His plant was about 4 years old and about 8 to 9 ft tall.
Don't know the color, but these are the midget plants that produce an early harvest. I got them from the website "Desde Mi Huerto" in PR. Desde mi Huerto is located in Isabela, Puerto Rico. Their website is: www.desdemihuerto.com/
How can I get seeds from gandulues,recao,cilantro
I get all my seeds from an online store in PR called Desde Mi Huerto and their website is: www.desdemihuerto.com/en
Are the culantro plants in full sun?
Yes, full sun. They can also be planted in partial sun but a well lit area. I will be planting mine outside this week. Look for it on Wednesday's video on my channel. Wednesday, 15 May 2024.
Can I buy or have some recao seeds please Ovi 🙏🏼, If you can I leave in Jersey
Send me your address and I will send you some seeds. I have some to spare. But remember, it takes about 21 days for the seeds to germinate and the plant grows slowly. Take a look at some of my videos from March and April to see how I did it.
Send me your address via email and I will send you some seeds. My email address is oviduran@gmail.com.
