Shiso verde

Particularly fascinating is the purple-bronzed foliage, this variety is also cultivated for ornamental purposes. Generally in Japanese and Chinese cuisine, precisely the foliage of Perilla Fruttescens is the main ingredient, both as a decoration and as a seasoning as well as as a side dish, in fish dishes.

Even the seeds produced by the inflorescences find a use in the kitchen: salty and consumed as a delicious snack or used as a spice for flavoring.

However, the fragrance of the foliage differs a lot from the basil of our knowledge, rather recalling the fragrances of Melissa and Anise.
