Culantro
Eryngium foetidum
Culantro (Eryngium foetidum) is a smooth annual herb of 15 to 50cm, its single stem branching only at the top. The lower leaves form a flat rosette, thin and lance-shaped with saw-toothed, faintly spiny margins; those higher up are more sharply toothed and cut into three to seven lobes, and the oval or cylindrical flower heads are ringed by narrow bracts, each tipped with a spine. Thought to have come from the Americas, it grows wild across Vietnam and is raised as a vegetable in places. The leaves, which carry an essential oil, are picked fresh or dried in the shade, and eaten raw or cooked.
