It works well in most dishes especially salsa, and tends to be slower to bolt but will bolt if temperature is too hot. Produces small white flowers that can also be added to salads. Great as a garnish.
The smaller seeds can be crushed to release the citrus flavour for cooking Plant after the last frost. Grows 45 to 50 cm tall. Space 22 to 30 cm apart. Harvest 50 to 60 days. Do not transplant. Keep moist but not overwater. Don’t add extra nitrogen.
