organic Brazil cress

Spilanthes fusca, Asteraceae

Brède mafane, Para cress, toothache plant, Szechuan buttons

Warm on the tongue, this condiment plant, widely used in the Indian Ocean, enhances the foods it accompanies: salads, meats... But eaten on its own, Brazil cress is downright numbing to the mouth! Its spreading habit, bronzed foliage and yellow pompon flowers with a purple-brown spot in the center make it more than desirable in the garden. It's an annual plant that loves sun and humus-rich soil. It is reputed to combat gum disease.
