Sacha Culantro, or wild coriander, is a common weed found in throughout the Amazon Rainforest. The upper leaves are arranged in a star-like formation and clusters of tiny flowers grow from the center of these rosettes. If any part of the plant is crushed it produces a distinctive pungent odor. While commonly used as a condiment with a distinctive flavor, the leaves are also used in a tea to treat indigestion, diarrhea, nausea, or dispel flatulence. Often used in conjunction with sage and/or mallow as well to maintain healthy digestion and immune system function. |
