Shiso Perilla Seeds Shiso, otherwise known as perilla, beefsteak plant, Chinese basil and purple mint, is a member of the Lamiaceae or mint family. For centuries, growing perilla mint, or shiso, has been cultivated in China, India, Japan, Korea, Thailand, and other Asian countries. Note that hese mint plants are quite toxic to cattle and other livestock. Prized in Asian countries not only for its culinary uses, the oil extracted from these mint plants is also utilized as a valuable fuel source, while the leaves themselves are used medicinally and as a food coloring. The seeds from the perilla beefsteak plant are also eaten by people and as bird food. Perilla mint plants (Perilla frutescens) may also be grown as ornamentals due to their erect habitat and green or purplish-green to red serrated leaves. Growing perilla mint also has a distinctive minty aroma, especially when mature. To ensure that most of your shiso seeds germinate, refrigerate for 2 weeks and then soak them in water for 24 hours before seeding. To sew those soaked seeds, I just pour them on the seed bed water and all (surface sow). This way the seeds should germinate in 4-7 days or so. You can sow shiso indoors to give them a start.

Although science has some ways to go before it properly assesses the health benefits of perilla leaves, this herb might just be your key to better well-being. Here are a few proven ways in which the perilla plant goes beyond providing nutrition — Support Immunity Perilla leaves contain compounds that support the overall function of the immune system. During the winter months, reach for this herb to maintain stronger immunity against cold, fever, chills, headache, stuffy nose and allergies. Using perilla oil for cooking may be a good preventive measure in the flu season. Lower Heart Disease Risk Perilla oil, extracted from perilla seeds, has a ratio of healthy fats that may help prevent heart disease. Perilla leaf powder also has a high level of antioxidants that help curb the oxidation of cholesterol in your food, preventing your arteries from accumulating plaque and hardening. Ease Stomach and Intestinal Discomfort Research shows that perilla leaves can reduce feelings of bloating, gas and uncomfortable fullness. They do this by strengthening the lower esophageal sphincter (which prevents acid reflux) and easing cramps with high levels of flavonoids, rosmarinic acid, and caffeic acid. Increase Respiratory Health A study published in the International Archives of Allergy and Immunology reports that a four-week treatment with perilla seeds increases lung capacity significantly in patients with asthma. This may be due to the generous amount of quercetin, luteolin and rosmarinic acid in the perilla plant. Higher lung capacity supports and is indicative of overall respiratory health. Support Brain Health and Manage Depression Researchers have found that the alpha-lipoic acid (ALA) in perilla seeds could aid in lowering depression. That’s because ALA fights disease-causing free radicals, reduces inflammation and potentially protects brain cells from conditions like Alzheimer’s, multiple sclerosis and stroke.
