All i know is that my uncle and his friends used to smoke it when they were younger. It is commonly smoked in many asian countries and gives you a high similar to that of taking lower grade cannabis but it is far more bitter to the taste so not as popular.
Should it be regarded as a drug or not? Or we waiting for America to tell us??
Coriander….nothing else…

I know it as Shardon Bennie. Some people also call it chook chook. It is very good to put in meat when cooking. Shopkeepers also put it in rum

Cilantro is NOT the same thing as Shandon Beni. Cilantro, which is also called coriander, resembles flat-leaf parsley.

You should get a pregnancy test for that funny feeling in your stomach. There is no prescription for that. Just wait nine months and the feeling will go away on its owm.
Nice sense of humor but not pregnant.

That didn’t work.but thanks.I’m having a colonoscopy on Thursday.
The doctor afraid to tell you that you pregnant?

shadow beny (don’t know how to spell it). very good for all stomach problems
It is used all over the world medicinally for treating flu, burns, constipation, diarrhea, fever, chills, worms, snake bite, scorpion stings, and even diabetes. Its name fitweed comes from its use in treating seizures and epilepsy.
It is high in calcium, iron, carotene, and riboflavin and acts as an appetite stimulant, so it has many culinary uses as well. The taste is very similar to cilantro, but stronger and it can be used in chutneys, marinades, sauces, salsas, meat and vegetable dishes.

where those shadow benee aka chock chock be? I well want some
Well, yes I can though I will not…people will come to my place and “borrow” it for their one-pot. It has at least two names: If you infuse it in a bottle of Mahaut Whiskey…chook …oops almost gave that one away. In food it is a good (better) substitute for celantro. However, I know these things from reading books and the inter-webs…I do not have it growing in my herb garden, or down by the river, or outside the window where things sometimes land when I am too lazy to compost….so, do not come around looking forr that myssterious un-known herb.
Zeb-chepantye. The leaves have a very pungent but pleasant smell.
This is the chado beni aka culantro. Biological name is(Eryngium foetidum). This tropical plant has multiple uses, it is used heavily in trinidad as a form of seasoning.
