About Infrared-Roasted Perilla Seeds
INFRARED-ROASTED PERILLA SEEDS
Sometimes mistakenly labeled as ‘sesame’, perilla is in fact not related to the sesame plant at all. It is rather part of the mint family and is cousin to the Japanese shiso plant.
Perilla has always been common in its native Korea and, partly because of its abundance, has not received the same attention as other herbs. In fact, farmers used to plant perilla on the edges of their fields, as the plant’s aroma deterred wild animals. Perilla has recently experienced a resurgence due to its nutritional benefits: it has omega-3 levels similar to flax and chia seeds.
These toasted seeds are pretty addictive on their own. We also love adding them into salads or as a topping on rice or seafood dishes. One of our favorite restaurants in New York recently began serving perilla seed-crusted tuna. Yum.
