🌿 Culantro Seeds
Eryngium foetidum
A tropical herb with bold personality 🌴🔥, Culantro is the spiky-leafed cousin of cilantro that packs even more flavor. Native to the Caribbean and Central America 🌎, it’s a key ingredient in sofrito, salsas, and curries — delivering a concentrated cilantro-like punch 🌿🌶️. Unlike delicate cilantro, culantro thrives in heat 🌞 and humidity, producing steady harvests of robust, aromatic leaves.
