The herbs used in sabzi polo vary, but typically include coriander, dill, chives or scallions, fenugreek, and parsley. It can be made from both fresh and dried herbs.

Iranians traditionally eat sabzi polo with māhi sefid ("white fish"), the Caspian kutum, for lunch on Nowruz, the Iranian new year, with their family and relatives.
