Culantro leaves

Somebody knows if the culantro leaves (Eryngium foetidum) are safe for my Red Footed? She is eating it and she likes it, but I can't find info about it.

I'm not familiar with this one, so I looked it up. It is used in human food all over the world and it appears to be a stronger tasting version of cilantro.

I have no personal experience with it, but generally, if a leafy green plant is safe for humans to eat, it is also safe for a tortoise to eat.

I use culantro for almost all my food. For this reason I have some plants in my backyard and apparently my tortoise is enjoying it. Thanks for your comment!

I wish I had access to this wonderful calcium rich green for my RF babies and my kitchen. Good for you for growing it!
