Bold, Aromatic Culantro Leaves
Fresh culantro, known as shado beni in Trinidad and Tobago and Ngo Gai in Vietnamese cooking, delivers a deep herbal flavor often compared with cilantro, but stronger and more robust. Its long, serrated leaves hold up especially well in cooked dishes.
Popular Culinary Uses
- Essential for Trinidad green seasoning and Caribbean marinades
- Adds depth to sofrito, soups, stews, curries, and sauces
- Pairs beautifully with garlic, scallions, thyme, peppers, meat, and fish
- Widely used in Caribbean, Latin American, and Southeast Asian cooking
Storage
Keep leaves refrigerated and dry, wrapped loosely in a paper towel inside a produce bag or container. Rinse just before use. For longer storage, chop and freeze in small portions for cooked dishes.
Available in 1, 3, or 12 bundles. Fresh herbs naturally vary in leaf size and appearance.
