About Shiso leaves

Shiso leaves, also known as Perilla leaves, originate from East Asia and are widely used in Japanese, Korean, and Chinese cuisines. These aromatic green or purplish leaves add a unique blend of minty, citrusy, and earthy flavors to dishes. Rich in essential nutrients, shiso leaves are an excellent source of vitamins A and C, which support immunity and skin health, and contain small amounts of calcium and iron. They are also high in antioxidants and have anti-inflammatory properties linked to heart and brain health. Shiso boasts omega-3 fatty acids, promoting cardiovascular wellness. Additionally, it may aid digestion and has mild antimicrobial benefits. While shiso is generally healthy, its oils should be avoided in large quantities as they can interfere with blood clotting. Available fresh or pickled, these versatile leaves are used in sushi, salads, garnishes, and teas, offering both culinary and holistic benefits.
