  Grows wild and also commonly planted around houses. Used in flavoring various foods, such as macharca soup. Also has a number of medicinal uses. It is drunk as a medicinal tea. Another use is as a worm purge when three culantro roots are boiled with seven soursop leaves. The plant, with spiky tough leaves, looks very different from the domesticated variety seen in the U.S., but the scent and taste are similar.
