Spices, basil, dried vs Spices, coriander leaf, dried

Both dried herbs score 99 of 100, essentially tied at the top of the spices and herbs category. The clearest gap is fiber: dried basil delivers 37.7 g per 100 g, more than triple coriander leaf's 10.4 g. Coriander leaf edges out basil on calories, 279 versus 233, and carries nearly triple the sodium, 211 mg against 76 mg, while protein is close, 21.9 g versus 23 g.

Choose dried basil when fiber contribution matters most and you want to keep added sodium lower. Choose dried coriander leaf when its distinct flavor is needed and the modest calorie and protein differences are not a concern. Given how small typical seasoning amounts are, sodium content is the more practical distinguishing factor here even though both herbs post nearly identical scores.
