A deep purple-red microgreen with intense shiso flavor

Compared to other shiso varieties, micro red shiso hs a hint of ginger cinnamon. The leaves of the mature red shiso plant are often used fresh to wrap other ingredients; as a microgreen, the smaller red shiso sprigs are highly versatile. They are especially popular in accenting seafood preparations and across Asian cuisine.
