Product description
These vibrant green leaves impart notes of mint, basil, cinnamon and citrus, delivered with a slight tingle on the tongue. It’s not an easy taste to categorise but one that becomes quite addictive once tried. Often used as a garnish for sashimi, especially tuna, shredded in salads or steamed and served hot. So many Japanese and Korean recipes call for this herb that are sure to find a use, even if you devise your own.
Best usage
- Sow thinly in trays in a warm spot, out of direct sun
- Transfer to free draining soil in full after last frost
- May be own outside in full sun from June.
- Take care not to over-water – Shiso is prone to plant rot
- Harvest young leaves and edible flowers.
