$9.99
Skip to product information
Grow authentic flavor with Culantro (Eryngium foetidum), also known as Ngo Gai or Vietnamese Recao. This tropical herb is prized for its long, serrated leaves and bold cilantro-like flavor—stronger and longer-lasting than regular cilantro. It is a staple in Vietnamese, Thai, Caribbean, Mexican, and Latin American cuisine, especially in pho, soups, stews, sauces, and marinades.
Unlike cilantro, culantro does not bolt quickly and thrives in warm, humid conditions, making it ideal for summer growing and indoor cultivation. It can be grown in containers, raised beds, or shaded garden areas.
You will receive:
✔️ 100 fresh, viable seeds
✔️ Open-pollinated, non-GMO
✔️ Carefully packaged for successful germination
