Culantro or Recao


Culantro (Eryngium Foetidum) or "RECAO" as called in the Carribean is a flavorful herb used in caribbean cooking. Puerto Rico uses it extensively in all kinds of stews, soups, beans, asopao, etc. It is a more flavorful substitute for Cilantro for all your culinary creations.

I find it less pungent than cilantro more of a mild pleasant, less fruty notes.
