Do you eat the roots like with cilantro/coriander?

 

I was curious about their taxonomy and their relation.  According to wikipedia:

Culantro: Eryngium foetidum

Cilantro: Coriandrum sativum

 

Looks like they are both in the same family, Apiaceae, which also includes carrots, celery, and parsley :)

 

They are in the same botanical family, but very different it terms of genus. Nothing like carrots, for example.

 

The roots are not normally eaten by humans!
