About Shiso leaf
Shiso leaf, also known as perilla leaf, is a fragrant herb popular in East Asian cuisines, particularly Japanese, Korean, and Chinese cooking. Belonging to the mint family, its jagged green or reddish-purple leaves offer a unique blend of minty, grassy, and slightly spicy flavors. Rich in vitamins A and C, shiso is also a source of calcium, iron, and potassium, supporting immune health, bone strength, and electrolyte balance. Its antioxidants, such as rosmarinic acid, are believed to have anti-inflammatory and allergy-reducing properties. Omega-3 fatty acids in the seeds and leaves may promote heart and brain health. Shiso’s versatile profile makes it a healthy garnish for sushi, salads, soups, and pickles. However, as with any herb, moderation is key, as overconsumption could interfere with dietary balance. Its vibrant flavor and nutrient density make shiso a prized addition to health-conscious meals.
