Eryngium Foetidum

Eryngium foetidum, commonly known as Culantro, Mexican Coriander, or Sawtooth Herb, is a tropical perennial herb valued for its strong, cilantro-like flavor and medicinal properties. With its distinctive long, serrated leaves and bold aroma, it’s a staple in Caribbean, Latin American, and Southeast Asian cooking—perfect for seasoning soups, stews, curries, and sauces. Unlike common cilantro, Eryngium foetidum is more heat-tolerant and lasts longer in warm climates, making it an excellent choice for tropical gardens or sunny windowsills. It grows well in moist, well-drained soil with full sunlight and is easy to maintain, thriving both in containers and garden beds. A flavorful, resilient herb, Eryngium foetidum is ideal for culinary use and herbal remedies alike.
