Have Trouble With Cilantro? Try Long Coriander Instead

Long coriander (Eryngium foetidum) is a biennial herb common throughout the Caribbean and Central America.

We don't see much in the US unless, of course, you're eating the cuisine of one of these areas. It is sometimes called culantro, black benny, saw leaf weed, Mexican coriander, prickly coriander, fitweed, and spiritweed.

The name 'culantro' sounds like 'cilantro' and belongs to the same family of plants; it just so happens to smell like coriander and can be used in place of cilantro, albeit with a slightly stronger flavor.

It is found growing wild in wetlands. The plant is small with lance-shaped dark green leaves 4 to 8 inches (10-20 cm) long forming a rosette.

The plant has different uses in many recipes and it is also much easier to grow than regular coriander, do you want to know how? Check out the video tutorial below!
