Purple Frilly Shiso Leaf Powder

Deeper, earthier, more mysterious — purple frilly shiso powder has a presence that doesn’t go unnoticed. Visually intense, with that very dark purple tone that already suggests complexity, it brings an aroma somewhere between herbal, balsamic and slightly astringent. The flavour is concentrated. It has notes of fresh cumin, clove, green cinnamon. A mix between the vegetal and the spicy — almost like a leaf and a spice at the same time. It’s used with purpose. A pinch is enough to give depth to a sauce, to create contrast in a vegetable dish or to reinvent a classic base. It goes particularly well with mushrooms, aubergine, lentils, white meats or Asian-inspired dishes. Sprinkled over black rice or artisanal pasta, it creates visual and taste impact. In pastry, it challenges. It pairs with plum, red fruits, dark chocolate or spiced cakes. It’s a powder for those who love depth. Less obvious flavours. That leaves a mark without excess. We produce it in small batches. Because good things take time. And this one is worth every second.
