This coriander is commonly called culantro. It is a leafy green plant with a spinach-like texture, but thinner and its leaves are quite rough and have a taste and aroma similar but stronger than coriander. This plant grows easily in the wild. The entire plant can be harvested, and the leaves will grow back after being picked. Culantro is used as a vegetable and herb and also as a medicinal plant to treat stomach pain or headaches.  Always consult a medical professional or qualified herbalist before using this plant medicinally.
