Lake Valley Heirloom Perilla Green Shiso Seeds

An absolute must for herb gardens! Also called Japanese basil or beefsteak plant, shiso's incredible flavor can be described as a combination of cinnamon, mint, and clove with overtones of cumin. Primarily used to wrap sushi, shiso leaves smell like lemon balm. Add to salads, or sprinkle on cucumber and fish.
