Pimpinella brachycarpa, known as chamnamul[2][3] and short-fruit pimpinella,[2] is a species in the genus Pimpinella (family Apiaceae). It is a scented plant with saw-toothed, oval leaves, which bears white flowers between June and August, and edible baby leaves.[4]

Culinary use

Like other plants of the parsley family, chamnamul has aromatic leaves used as a culinary herb.

Korea

In Korean cuisine, the smooth leaves and crunchy stems of young chamnamul are served fresh or blanced as a spring namul (seasoned herbal vegetable dish). In North Korea, chamnamul-kimchi is a popular dish, known as one of Kim Il-sung's favourite.[5] Recently in South Korea, chamnamul is one of the ingredients that frequently feature in Korean-style western food recipes, such as chamnamul pasta or chamnamul pesto.[6]
