About Perilla seed

Perilla seed, derived from the Perilla plant native to East Asia, is a versatile ingredient often used in Korean, Japanese, and Chinese cuisines. These small, nutty seeds are packed with nutrients including omega-3 fatty acids, protein, and dietary fiber, making them a heart-healthy choice. Perilla seeds also contain antioxidants and vitamins such as vitamin E and B-complex, contributing to overall wellness. The omega-3 content supports brain health and reduces inflammation, while the fiber aids digestion. Additionally, the seeds offer a rich source of minerals like calcium, magnesium, and iron, essential for bone and metabolic health. Their natural nutty flavor makes them ideal for seasoning, garnishing, or incorporating into oils and dressings. While healthy, they are calorie-dense, so portion control is key. Perilla seeds reflect a balance of nutrition and flavor, offering both traditional significance and modern health benefits.
