Umbelliferae,
Ketumbar Jawa
Ketumbar
Jawa, (M).
Eryngium Foetidum L. (Umbelliferae)
Description
Ketumbar Jawa. Sometimes used as a substitute for garland chrysanthemum
because of the 'bug-like' taste.
It is an erect herb about 30-40 cm tall. The long lanceolate fresh but
stiff green leaves have finely serrated margins and form a rosette. Crushed
leaves give off a strong bug-like smell.
Origin
The herb was brought into cultivation in European gardens in the seventeenth
century. The Chinese are instrumental in distributing it throughout the
East.
Uses
It is used as a flavouring for food, in curries and also as a medicine.
It is often adopted by the Chinese as a substitute for coriander.
