Organic Perilla Seed Powder 300g
The same high quality Perilla seeds that we source from lush fields in Inner Mongolia, are used to make our RAWGANIQ Perilla seed powder.
Native to Southeast Asia and the Indian highlands, Perilla seeds have been cultivated for centuries for both their culinary and medicinal properties. RAWGANIQ Perilla seed powder has a very pleasant but mild, nutty scent with subtle undertones of earthiness and a hint of herbal freshness. This unique fragrance adds an extra layer of sensory enjoyment to any dish they are used in. This versatile superfood is rich in Omega-3 fatty acids, known to support heart health, reduce inflammation, and promote brain function. It’s also loaded with antioxidants, helping to combat free radicals and protect your body at a cellular level.
RAWGANIQ Perilla seed powder is perfect for enhancing smoothies, baked goods, or even savory dishes as it brings a subtle, nutty flavor while delivering a powerhouse of benefits.
RAWGANIO Perilla seeds can be roasted and ground into a powder to add a nutty flavor to dishes.
