A lot of people cook with herbs. A lot more people want to know how to cook with herbs and understand that foods taste better when herbs are used. While some people do grow some of their own herbs, for many people, the only exposure they’ve had to culinary herbs is in dried form. It seems natural, then, that a great quiz would be in the identification of culinary herb plants.
Pictured below are pictures of 10 very commonly used herbs. Name the herb.

7 out of 10 is not bad at all
That is a very good score! Way to go! Have you grown culinary herbs?
Got 3 out of 10 right but learned a lot. Thanks
That isn’t a bad score, especially if you’ve never grown herbs. Good job!
6 out of 10 correct. Great quiz!
That is a really good score. Do you grow your own herbs?
I grow mint and parsley. I want to plant more this year.
mint is pretty easy since it is invasive and perennial. Parsley is biennial, so it needs to be planted every two years. Oregano and thyme are both perennial and very hardy.
You got 7 out of 10 right!
Great
You did quite good! Way to go!
I only got 6 correct, great quiz!
That is a good score! Definitely nothing to sneeze at. (I didn’t include a black pepper plant. lol)
7/10 To be honest, it’s more than I expected. Awesome quiz!
That is a very good score! You did quite well!

You got 7 out of 10 right!
Very good score. Do you grow any of your own herbs?
You got 6 out of 10 right!
Not so bad.
And I was wrong about parsley and coriander.
That is a good score! Way to go! Coriander and parsley can easily be mixed up based on appearance, though the aroma is totally different.
Great idea for a quiz, Rex. I got 10/10, though I sometimes confuse flat parsley and coriander, since we usually only see curly parsley here. Mind you, the confusion lasts only until I give the leaf a gentle squeeze 🙂
I can understand that. We like growing both kinds of parsley, just because I like cooking with flat-leafed parsley. Our son-in-law is Guatemalan and he loves coriander but isn’t crazy about parsley. lol
5 of 10. No surprise the ones I got right are the ones I use most frequently.
You did well! Good job!
I got half of them correct, great quiz on the subject!
I’m very glad that you liked it!
You got 2 out of 10 right!
Bad day, right?
You have me curious. Do you cook with herbs? If so, you probably only use dried herbs, right?
