In this episode of GoGreenfields, River and Terran pick gorgeous Shiso leaves from their LettuceGrow garden. The fantastic indoor growing system allowed the co-hosts to grow a large amount of shiso just for this episode.
About Shiso
Shiso, which is also called “perilla leaf” or “Japanese basil” is native to Japan. It is a relative of the mint plant commonly grown in many American gardens. Like mint, Shiso is considered to have medicinal value. It has antibacterial properties, which led to it becoming a favorite tool of Sushi chefs in its homeland. The Shiso leaves can actually preserve food by preventing spoilage, so it is often wrapped around the raw fish used in sushi. It is also, obviously, edible, and is said to pair well with Salmon, Tuna, and Yellowtail fish. But, it is also making an appearance in beverages, jellies, and desserts.
