# Vietnamese

The [Vietnamese approach to food](https://spicesinc.com/blogs/spices-and-seasonings-vietnam) embraces seasonality and freshness; meat is present, but is often not the centerpiece of a dish, and abundant vegetables and healthy starches are there to round out a meal. Vietnamese-friendly herbs and spices, tend to be pungent and boldly aromatic, or exude a fruity herbaceousness that elevates the flavors of the more delicate vegetables. Many Vietnamese dishes rely on individual spices, but there are [Vietnamese-inspired blends](https://spicesinc.com/product-cuisines/vietnamese-spices) available that would be at home in a Vietnamese Kitchen.
