Shiso Perilla Seeds for Planting, 1 Gram Approximately 200 Seeds, Perilla frutescens VAR. crispa Shiso Perilla, often simply called "shiso," is an aromatic herb belonging to the mint family, native to East Asia. It plays an essential role in several Asian cuisines, especially Japanese, where it imparts a unique combination of flavors reminiscent of mint, basil, anise, and cinnamon. Shiso leaves are broadly ovate with serrated edges. Depending on the variety, the leaves can range in color from a rich green to deep purplish-red. The plant can grow up to 2 to 3 feet in height, producing tall stems with spiky flower clusters, adding ornamental value. In the kitchen, shiso's versatility shines. The leaves can be used fresh in salads, as garnishes, or as wrappers for sushi and sashimi. Chopped shiso enhances the flavor of cold noodle dishes, stir-fries, and soups. Beyond the leaves, shiso seeds can be toasted and ground, serving as a spice or garnish. The flowers are both beautiful and edible, with a more subtle shiso taste.
