It has an incredible flavor that can be described as a combination of cinnamon, mint, and clove with overtones of cumin. Perilla is commonly used in many countries in Asia for culinary purposes, notable in the US as part of the Vietnamese bouquet for the noodle dish, “Pho.” It has medicinal properties as well. An edible plant, perilla is a very attractive plant for the garden and attracts butterflies. Perilla leaves are also rich in vitamins A, C, and riboflavin.

Reverend Saul –
Fast shipping and as described. Planted about a few, and they have already sprouted.
JR –
The seeds were shipped quickly, and they arrived just as quickly, well-packaged and all! The extra gifts that I found in the package alongside the seeds I ordered was a nice surprise I didn’t expect to see! All-in-all, a wonderful experience again, and so, thank you so much again! Can’t wait to see how all these grow a few months from now!

These seeds spouted within 4 days, I used a ziplock method and I already transplanted to small pots. Great quality and organic.

Fast delivery and great care in packaging. Lots of perilla seeds, a lot more than I expected. Planted about 30 seeds, and within three days almost all sprouted. The picture was taken after a week after planting. Super happy with the seeds.
