basic information
Culantro (Eryngium foetidum) is a pungent herb with long, serrated leaves, native to Central and South America. Its bold, cilantro-like flavor, with earthy and slightly citrusy notes, makes it a staple in Caribbean, Latin American, and Asian cuisines. In the kitchen, culantro is used fresh or cooked in dishes like soups, stews, salsas, and marinades, adding depth to rice, beans, and meat dishes. It’s often blended into sofrito or chutneys for a robust, aromatic base.
