Sesame leaves, a staple in Korean cuisine, are known for their distinctive aromatic flavor and versatility. These heart-shaped, green leaves belong to the perilla plant and are often used in wraps, pickled as banchan (side dishes), or incorporated into stir-fries and soups. Rich in nutrients, sesame leaves are an excellent source of vitamins A and C, antioxidants, and minerals such as calcium and iron. They are also loaded with omega-3 fatty acids, which support heart health and brain function. Their high fiber content aids digestion, while essential oils in the leaves contribute to their fragrant profile and potential anti-inflammatory benefits. Despite their many advantages, sesame leaves may contain low levels of naturally occurring compounds linked to allergies in sensitive individuals, so moderation is advised. With their bold taste and nutritional perks, sesame leaves remain a treasured ingredient for health-conscious cooking.
