Re:tiny purple shiso leaves

[Guest guest]

Hi All,

Speaking of Asian foods, I am now eating a salad that has the most delicious

herb from Japan, Shiso leaf. Normally these are large leaves that cover the

palm of your hand, but the variety that I just found are tiny and they are

grown in a small little cardboard box. I just use them in my salads which

are a glorious mixture of red lettuce, raw grated beets, tiny bit of sweet

potatoe, purple cabbage, broccoli and red clover sprouts, the flowers of

broccoli, red and yellow peppers, basil leaf, celery leaf, parsley, radish,

avocado and shitake mushrooms. The tiny shiso leaves are very potent and

penetrate the salad. gorgeous stuff! The dressing is cold pressed olive oil

with lemon. MMMMMM.

So if you ever run across this lovely plant, give it a try, your mouth just

won't believe the delicious taste!

MM
