Anyone else grow this annual?
We use the japanese green perilla (shiso) for sushi, crispy miso pork rolls, and sauces (including pasta sauce).
The korean stuff I grew but I'm not sure what to use it for, other than pasta sauce and using it to pick up bits of meat and roll them up and eat them.
Apparently in Chinese medicine it is used for severe stomach/intestinal distress. Chinese doctor friend said to make a tea if something isn't sitting well (like me).
Well for anyone who doesn't grow it:
needs light and warmth to germinate
makes a bush
fast growing
aggressive roots - claims its space
does ok with partial shade
