Sawtooth Herb (Ngò Gai) is a pungent, long-leafed herb used across Caribbean, Latin American and Southeast Asian cuisines (often called Ngò Gai in Vietnamese). It’s prized for a strong, cilantro-like aroma and is added to soups, stews, salsas and marinades to deliver a bright, herbal lift. Nutritionally, Sawtooth Herb (Ngò Gai) is a nutrient-dense herb and an excellent source of vitamin K (310µg per 100g); it also supplies appreciable vitamin A and vitamin C along with modest fiber and plant protein. Because it’s low-calorie and used in small amounts, it’s an easy way to boost micronutrients and flavor without adding much energy. From a health perspective, culantro contributes fiber and plant protein while supplying antioxidant compounds (polyphenols and carotenoids) and fat-soluble vitamins that support bone and immune health. It’s a wholesome finishing herb that enhances dishes nutritionally as well as sensorially.
