Headword 2青じそ

ReferenceFirst encountered in my 1982 主婦の友「おかずの基礎とコツ百科」* in the cabbage section, confirmed through Google. 青じそ seems by far more popular than 青紫蘇 and あおじそ, so I think it warrants inclusion as a headword.
CommentAdded 青じそ as headword.

* I'm trying to master the basics of Japanese cooking, hence this book.
