A tier
Vietnamese coriander here means C. sativum as used profusely in Vietnamese herb plates (rau mùi)—fresh cilantro with spearmint, Thai basil, and culantro. Note: “Vietnamese coriander” can also mean Persicaria odorata; this entry follows parent list as coriander cultivar identity for Vietnamese-style C. sativum leaf. Serve raw alongside phở and grilled meats. Stems are flavourful. Keep cold and dry to avoid blackening.
