Cilantro

Does anyone know where I can buy a small amount of fresh plants ? Hell even a dried bottled spice would be welcomed.

We buy it fresh in the markets regularly. Can't you just grow some?

you have to replant it often as it shoots to seed quickly
it is coriander so you can use the whole spice seeds easily

Well I didn't know the Khmer name so I asked Prof. wife and she had no idea
I looked it up in the dictionary and a description of the plant was given, but no one name.. Perhaps not too surprisingly it was described as a medicine although no specific disease was identified. So if you can offer the Khmer name in either script or English phonemes it would be.much appreciated as would the name of a PP market likely.to.sell.it. Otherwise coriander it is. Cheers from Taa.

Bob thanks, but I do have a question about the first word.due to the lack of a consistent or universal.phonetic. English alphabet.for Khmer. Is the "CH" sound a "CH" as in change or a CH sound as in jam? Thanks again and can you recommend a market?

We grow the usual plant but also the spiky one which I think is Vietnamese. It tastes the same but looks totally different. Do people know this one?
