Received healthy looking seeds! Each packet has a generous amount of seeds, and the prices are very reasonable for the quality and quantity. Shipping was super fast and packaging secure. Excellent seller whom I highly recommend!

Shiso is very versatile for Asian cooking. We use them a lot with cold noodles(soba) during the summer and they are essential. I like Korean variety because it has bigger leaves.
I will plant them this weekend. I hope to have lots of them in the summer! Thanks again for an excellent selection.
