Hi guys - hope you all had a wonderful Valentine's day.

I just came across another mexican herb that looks really interesting - like Papalo, it's been described as cilantro on steroids -

Pipicha (Porophyllum tagetoides) edible as fresh uncooked green; allow seedheads to dry on plants before removing them & collecting seeds; indigenous communities use Pipicha against bacterial infections, as well as for liver cleansing & detoxification."

Also called chepiche, escobeta, papalo delgardo, pepicha, pipitza, tepicha

This one has a picture:

Have you guys heard of it? It sounds pretty amazing.
