Price From €8.95

Organic Green Perilla (Shiso) seeds for microgreens. A staple in Asian cooking, green shiso is a decorative microgreen with a gorgeous colour. It is a wonderful addition to fish and meat dishes, pasta and salads, with a mix of falvours, cumin, basil and mint. More details below.               

 

How to grow Green Perilla microgreens

  • Sprinkle the seeds over a tray of compost and press down gently.
  • Cover with a fine layer of compost. It is advisable to use a micro biologically tested compost such as Klassmanns Peat Free Seed Compost to ensure there are no pathogens present.
  • Keep the compost moist (but not soaking).
  • Best kept at a steady temperature of about 20C°,
  • You should see signs of germination after a couple of days. Cut after about ten days.

Harvesting and using your shiso microgreens

When you are happy with your crop then cut your leaves close to the compost and gently rinse off any compost. If you feel they are getting too big they can all be harvested all together and stored in a container in the fridge to keep fresh.
