Shiso Seeds

£4


For those short on outdoor space, some seeds to grow your own edible plants indoors. Harvest your own Shiso aka Japanese Basil.

The Japanese use these fragrant, iron-rich leaves as a garnish for cold noodle and tofu dishes when young, and when mature to wrap onigiri (rice balls), fried in tempura batter as a crispy side dish or even as a pizza topping.

It’s almost impossible to buy this seasoning fresh in the UK and it’ll add some authentic Japanese flavour to sushi, salads, curries and stir fries.

Featuring artwork by the eminent 19th Century botanist Iwasaki Tsunemasa.


Grow indoors on a sunny windowsill or in a greenhouse, or sow outdoors in the Spring after the last frost.

Gift wrapped in tissue paper
