Red Shiso is a Japanese heirloom with dramatically deep red-purple leaves that smell of cinnamon and clove and deliver a bold, spicy flavor reminiscent of cumin — a truly unique culinary herb with no close equivalent in Western cooking. Essential in Japanese pickling for its vivid color-transferring ability, equally outstanding in Asian stir-fries, rice dishes, and sashimi garnishes, the seedlings are also edible and make a stunning, spicy addition to salads when young. A genuine showstopper in both the garden and the kitchen.
