Guascas (galinsoga parviflora) is a plant in the daisy family that is used
as an herb in many South American cuisines but is especially prevalent in
the cuisines of Colombia and Peru. Take these traditions into soups in your
own kitchen in New Zealand! The secret ingredient in ajiaco that may be challenging for cooks living
outside South America to acquire is the herb guascas, because if we are
honest, an ajiaco cannot call itself like that if its lacking guasca, so
if you are looking for herbs to your Latin soups, specially the creamy ajiaco,
you are in the right place, don’t hesitate and order some!
