Vietnamese coriander
Vietnamese coriander is a tropical aromatic herb much appreciated for its elongated, dark green foliage, often marked with a purple spot in the center, and its intense fragrance reminiscent of coriander with a more peppery and citrusy note. It is widely used in Vietnamese and Asian cuisine to flavor soups, broths, salads, fresh rolls, noodle dishes, sauces, stir-fries, and spicy recipes. Its powerful taste adds a lot of freshness to dishes, while offering an excellent alternative to classic coriander during warmer periods.
Easy to cultivate in warm weather, Vietnamese coriander prefers a bright spot, in partial shade or gentle sun, in rich, fresh, and well-drained soil. It likes regular humidity and performs very well in pots, on a terrace, a balcony, or near the kitchen, where its leaves can be harvested as needed. Unlike traditional coriander, it tolerates heat much better and does not bolt quickly, which allows for a more stable and prolonged harvest during the summer.
Both productive, decorative, and very flavorful, Vietnamese coriander is ideal for gardeners looking for an original, fragrant, and easy-to-integrate herb into a gourmet garden. Its dense foliage adds beautiful texture to containers and herb boxes, while its distinctive flavor enhances fresh and aromatic recipes. It is a perfect plant to enrich an urban vegetable garden, a collection of herbs, or an outdoor kitchen corner with an exotic and very fragrant touch.
