Purple Shiso Cress
Young purple shiso shoots, intense in colour and aroma.
Purple shiso cress brings together very young shiso shoots with purple-red leaves. Despite their small size, they concentrate the plant's characteristic aroma, between mint, cumin and aniseed, with a slightly spicy note. Cut at the base at the time of plating, they add a touch of deep colour and a clean fragrance.
