Commonly named shiso, Zi Su or Beefsteak Plant, this ornamental green plant has  leaves that are widely used in Asian cooking to provide a refreshing garnish for fish, rice, tempura and sashimi dishes. Perilla is also known for its antioxidant and anti-inflammatory quality. Harvest leaves by pinching off the outer leaves, leaving some on the plant for future growth.
