Can you tell the difference between basil and thai basil? Chive and garlic chive? Probably not but never fear as  Cate over at Girl Cooks World has created a great visual guide on how to spot different Vietnamese herbs.

Purple Perilla, Green Onions, Cilantro and Lemon Grass are all included in this  informative and useful blog post.

Cate sets out pictures and brief descriptions of each herb and even provides tasting notes on flavor. It's a great idea and really well executed post that's sure to a benefit for anyone who wants to brush up on their knowledge of herbs.
