Taste
Shiso Bicolor looks like a mix of the Shiso Green and Shiso Purple and offers a blend of minty, basil-like and mildly spicy flavours. It combines the freshness of mint and shiso with a hint of basil and undertones of cumin and anise.
Taste Friends
In Japan all fish dishes are served with shiso. Its flavour goes well with raw fish. This does not stop the non-Japanese chef from using it in versatile ways as well. It is very attractive when the leaf is presented upside down and used in a dish. Beautiful green leaves at the top, while the underside has various shades of purple. The dark green colour resembles another type of shiso, similar to Korean shiso.
Origin
Like the other shiso varieties, the unique two-coloured Shiso Bicolor is related to the stinging nettle. Its unique flavour experience and visually appealing presentation are an enhancement to the Koppert Cress portfolio.
