Ceylon Dried Culantro Leaves – 10 Pack

Long Coriander | Herbal Cooking & Tea | Sri Lankan Botanical Heritage

A Bold Leaf with Deep Cultural Roots

From the tropical lowlands of Sri Lanka comes a rare and aromatic herb that bridges culinary tradition and herbal wellness—Culantro, also known as Long Coriander or Eryngium foetidum. Unlike its cousin cilantro, culantro offers a stronger, more pungent flavor and a longer shelf life, making it a prized ingredient in tropical cuisines and traditional remedies.

Ceylon Brands presents 10 whole, sun-dried culantro leaves, organically cultivated and carefully selected to preserve their essential oils, flavor, and therapeutic properties. Whether steeped into tea or simmered into curries, these leaves deliver bold taste and botanical integrity in every use.

Flavor & Aroma Profile

Culantro leaves offer a robust, peppery, and citrus-like flavor—far more intense than cilantro—with a slightly metallic undertone and a lingering herbal finish. The aroma is sharp, earthy, and deeply green, making it ideal for dishes that require bold seasoning or herbal depth.

Culinary Applications

Culantro is a staple in Latin American, Caribbean, Southeast Asian, and Sri Lankan cooking. Its flavor holds up well to heat, making it perfect for slow-cooked dishes and herbal infusions. Here’s how to use it:

• Curries & Stews: Simmer whole leaves in meat, fish, or vegetable curries for layered flavor.
• Rice & Pilafs: Add to biryani, yellow rice, or coconut rice for a fragrant twist.
• Soups & Broths: Infuse into lentil soups, rasam, or herbal broths.
• Teas & Tonics: Steep in hot water with ginger and honey for a soothing herbal tea.
• Chutneys & Relishes: Blend with tamarind, lime, and chili for a tangy condiment.
• Spice Blends & Marinades: Combine with garlic, pepper, and turmeric for aromatic rubs.

Cooking Tip: Culantro leaves are best used whole during cooking and removed before serving, similar to bay leaves.
