Often called Perilla, Shiso combines characteristics of mint and basil with distinctive anise, liquorice and subtle cinnamon-like notes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eUnlike fast cotyledon crops such as radish or broccoli, Green Shiso is a slower-growing specialty micro herb. For the most characteristic appearance and flavour, allow the seedlings to begin developing their first serrated true leaves before harvesting. Under suitable conditions, harvest is generally around \u003cstrong\u003e16–22 days from sowing\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eBright Green Leaves \u0026amp; Distinctive Shiso Flavour\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe young crop begins with rounded green cotyledons before developing the textured, serrated leaves associated with mature Shiso. Its aroma and flavour become more pronounced as the first true leaves emerge, making it a microgreen grown primarily for culinary impact rather than bulk yield.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eUse freshly harvested Green Shiso microgreens with sushi, rice bowls, noodles, salads, seafood and egg dishes, or as an aromatic garnish for Japanese and Asian-inspired meals. A relatively small amount can provide considerable flavour, making Shiso particularly useful as a finishing micro herb.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIf you prefer the same distinctive Shiso character with striking burgundy-red and purple foliage, see our \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/ozsprout.com.au\/products\/red-shiso-microgreen-seeds\"\u003eRed Shiso Microgreen Seeds\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eA Specialty Microgreen Grown to True Leaf\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eGreen Shiso prefers warm, consistently moist conditions during establishment. Sow the fine seed shallowly onto a moisture-retentive medium such as \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/ozsprout.com.au\/products\/coco-fibre-growing-medium\"\u003eCoco Fibre Growing Medium\u003c\/a\u003e, then keep the tray covered briefly while germination becomes established.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eOnce uncovered, provide bright light, good airflow and controlled moisture. Bottom watering after the roots establish helps reduce unnecessary moisture on the developing foliage during the relatively long crop cycle.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eDelicate Foliage with Strong Culinary Character\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eGreen Shiso is best harvested while the stems and leaves remain tender. Allowing the first serrated true leaves to open gives the crop a more recognisable Shiso appearance and helps develop its characteristic aromatic flavour.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eGrow Green Shiso Beyond the Microgreen Stage\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe same seed can also be grown into a full-sized culinary Shiso herb. Mature plants develop larger serrated leaves with increasingly intense aroma and are well suited to herb gardens, raised beds and containers.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Ozsprout","offers":[{"title":"1g","offer_id":42801881153779,"sku":"SHISOSEEDSGREEN-1G","price":3.9,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false},{"title":"20g","offer_id":42801881186547,"sku":"SHISOSEEDSGREEN-20G","price":13.9,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false},{"title":"50g","offer_id":42801881219315,"sku":"SHISOSEEDSGREEN-50G","price":30.9,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false},{"title":"100g","offer_id":42801881252083,"sku":"SHISOSEEDSGREEN-100G","price":59.9,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false},{"title":"250g","offer_id":42801881317619,"sku":"SHISOSEEDSGREEN-250G","price":139.9,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false},{"title":"500g","offer_id":42801881350387,"sku":"SHISOSEEDSGREEN-500G","price":269.9,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0646\/1446\/5779\/files\/shiso-green-seeds-microgreens.webp?v=1759256059","url":"https:\/\/ozsprout.com.au\/products\/green-shiso-microgreen-seeds","provider":"OzSprout","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
