from Wikipedia - i love Cilantro, but it is hard to imagine a yet stronger
taste as they say this herb has:
Eryngium foetidum (also known as Bhandhanya, Chandon benit, Culantro, Culantro Coyote, Fitweed, Long coriander, Mexican coriander, Wild coriander, Recao, Spiritweed, Ngò gai, Sawtooth, and Saw-leaf herb), is a tropical perennial and annual herb in the family Apiaceae. It is native to Mexico and South America, but is cultivated worldwide. In the United States, where it is not well-known, the name culantro sometimes causes confusion with Coriandrum sativum, the leaves of which are known as cilantro, and which culantro is even said to taste like.[1] E. foetidum is widely used in seasoning and marinating in the Caribbean. It is also used extensively in Thailand, India, Vietnam, and other parts of Asia as a culinary herb. This variety of coriander dries well, retaining good color and flavor, making it valuable in the dried herb industry. It is sometimes used as a substitute for cilantro, but has a much stronger taste. Like with cilantro, several people find the leaves very distasteful, due to a genetic trait. As the species name means "fetid" in Latin, it is possible that Linnaeus also had this trait.[citation needed] Medicinally, the leaves and roots are used in tea to stimulate appetite, improve digestion, combat colic, soothe stomach pains, eliminate gases and as an aphrodisiac. |
