Bold, Aromatic Herb Plant for Asian Cuisine
Common Names: Vietnamese Coriander Plant ,Rau Răm Plant, Vietnamese Mint Plant, Laksa Leaf Plant
Family: Polygonaceae
Origin: Southeast Asia
Vietnamese Coriander Plant (Persicaria odorata), also known as Rau Răm, is a perennial herb native to Southeast Asia, widely used in Vietnamese, Thai, and other Southeast Asian cuisines. With its bold, peppery, and slightly citrusy flavor, this herb is often compared to cilantro (coriander) but has a more pungent taste. Its attractive, lance-shaped leaves make it both a culinary staple and an ornamental addition to herb gardens. Unlike traditional cilantro, Vietnamese Coriander thrives in warm, humid environments and can be harvested year-round in tropical and subtropical climates.
Distinctive Features, Uses, and Nutritional Value
Leaves: Vietnamese Coriander has narrow, lance-shaped leaves with dark green coloring and purple or burgundy markings. The leaves are highly aromatic, with a bold, peppery flavor often used in salads, soups, and as a garnish.
Foliage: The plant has a creeping growth habit, producing dense foliage that spreads horizontally, making it an excellent ground cover or container plant.
Growth Habit: Vietnamese Coriander grows as a low-growing, creeping perennial, reaching about 12-24 inches in height and spreading outwards. It thrives in warm, moist environments.
Culinary and Medicinal Uses
Culinary Uses: Vietnamese Coriander is a key ingredient in many Southeast Asian dishes. It is commonly used fresh in salads (especially in Vietnamese salads like gỏi), soups (such as the popular Laksa in Malaysia and Singapore), and as a garnish for grilled meats, fish, and fresh spring rolls. The herb’s strong flavor complements spicy, savory, and sour dishes. It is often used as a substitute for cilantro, especially in warm climates where cilantro does not thrive.
Medicinal Uses: In traditional medicine, Vietnamese Coriander has been used to aid digestion, reduce inflammation, and treat stomach ailments. The leaves contain antioxidants and antimicrobial properties, which can promote overall health and wellness.

Great dirt and great communication
Started a new garden and it seems to be helping all of my new starter plantings
Product was great! Ordered some seeds as part of a gift along with a gardening apron. Was a quality item, arrived quickly and it was a big hit!
Super fast service and answered all my questions!
Great service each time I used them, 3 times now.
He delivered great organic topsoil the same day. Excellent subsurface for sod. Friendly and fast, very careful during delivery.
The mulch was great. No junk in it like the bagged stuff. AsS with all outdoor projects weather is a thing. They were understanding of delays and changes.. And when the day came for delivery, there was plenty of communication and showed up on time. Plus the price was right!
I am very happy with my soil purchase! Great company to do business with! I highly recommend!
It works well. I just wish it had some residual to it so I wouldn't have to spray every few weeks.
Good and high quality, best pants from a soil company ive ever bought.
If you want a quick turn around when ordering soil, this is your guy. If you want someone to dump soil where YOU want it, this is your guy. If you want someone to sell you good soil instead of sand and broken up pallets, this is your guy. It seems weird that a guy and his wife would be so excited about dirt, I know. But we were. It’s the beginning of a big transformation for our house. So we ordered this, I think on and Saturday and surprisingly he said he could deliver it on Monday! So Monday, we woke up and literally wished each other a happy dirt day. I went to work and sure enough, he showed up on time and dumped the dirt exactly where we were hoping. And when I got home I walked over and before I could get there, you could smell the organic material in the dirt. Our plants will love this. Excellent quality. Excellent transaction. Excellent service. Couldn’t be happier.
Very high quality fertilizer. Very pleased.
