Perilla Seeds
Perilla frutescens, commonly called deulkkae, perilla or Korean perilla, is a species of Perilla in the mint family Lamiaceae. It is an annual plant native to Southeast Asia and Indian highlands, and is traditionally grown in the Korean peninsula, southern China, Japan and India as a crop.
The plant is used as a herb in Korean cuisine, and its seeds are used as a spice. It is also used as a medicinal herb and has been shown to have anti-inflammatory, antioxidant and anticancer properties. The plant grows to around 60 cm (24 in) high, with ovate leaves that are 5–15 cm (2.0–5.9 in) long and 3–7 cm (1.2–2.8 in) wide. The flowers are purple, 2-lipped with a white edge on the upper lip and have a diameter of 1-1½ cm (0.4-0.6 in). The leaves are used fresh or dried in Korean cuisine. They are also eaten as a vegetable in India, where they are known as “vendakkai” (Tamil), “korai karalu” (Telugu) and “neer dana” (Kannada). Perilla seeds are small and round, with a diameter of about 1.5 to 2 millimeters (0.06 to 0.08 in). They are light brown with a darker spot at one end, and have an oval shape when viewed from above. The seed coat is thin and brittle; the kernel inside is hard and white.
Perilla seeds are used as a spice in Korea, China and Japan. In Japan, they are called shiso-sho and are used in the same manner as sesame seeds. They are often toasted before use for more flavour.
There are two types of perilla oil: one made from pressing the seeds and one made by extracting them with an emulsion solvent such as hexane or ethyl acetate. The latter type is often referred to as olive perilla oil and has a much higher concentration of essential fatty acids than the other type. The benefits of perilla oil include its moisturising properties and ability to boost collagen production in the skin. It also helps reduce inflammation, which can lead to acne breakouts. Perilla oil is ideal for those with dry skin and it can be used as a moisturiser or added to your favourite lotion or cream. It’s also a good choice for those who want to protect their skin from the sun since it contains antioxidants that may help prevent signs of ageing such as wrinkles, fine lines and age spots.
Perilla oil is also a great choice for those who have acne-prone skin. It contains anti-inflammatory properties that can help reduce the appearance of redness, swelling and inflammation.
In addition, it’s an excellent source of omega-3 fatty acids that can help reduce the production of sebum (the oily substance produced by your skin), which tends to clog pores and cause breakouts. Perilla oil is a good choice for those with dry skin because it contains omega-6 fatty acids and linoleic acid. These ingredients have been shown to help boost moisture levels in the skin, which can help prevent dryness and flaking.
Finally, perilla oil is a good option for those who have sensitive skin. It contains anti-inflammatory properties that may help soothe any redness and inflammation associated with acne breakouts. It’s also rich in antioxidants such as vitamin E that can help prevent signs of ageing such as wrinkles, fine lines and age spots. The acetylated form of perilla oil is a popular ingredient in anti-aging products due to its moisturising properties. It’s also known for reducing inflammation, which can help ease the appearance of redness and swelling.
However, perilla oil should not be used on broken or damaged skin since it may cause irritation. The oil is also beneficial for those who suffer from dry or flaky skin. It contains fatty acids that can help hydrate the skin and restore its moisture content, leaving it feeling soft and smooth.
