Shiso

This is it:


This is what it tastes like:
The flavor has been described as curry-like and a combination of cumin, cilantro, and parsley with a hint of cinnamon. Leaves are a superior addition to mesclun salad mixes. Try Shiso as a garnish with sushi, and sprinkle it over cucumbers, cabbage and fish. Chop and add to pesto. Flowers are edible, and make a fragrant tea. Shiso is used a lot in Japanese food and is also used in Chinese Herbalism as a medicinal herb.
