How to Grow Green Ohba Shiso
Prepare soil and make sure it is fertile and drains well. Broadcast seeds or just barely cover with soil as shiso needs light to germinate. Make sure your planting location gets enough sunlight. Keep the soil moist and provide fertilizer as needed. Avoid overhead watering to prevent fungal diseases. Cut or pinch leaves often to encourage more growth.
Harvesting Ohba Shiso
Shiso can be harvested as soon as the plants are established and healthy. Cut leaves as needed for your recipes and the plant will continue to grow. Make your cuts to the top, this will encourage growth into a bushy shape.If you don’t use shiso very often, try to harvest it anyway to keep the plants from getting too leggy.
Culinary Tips
Shiso is used in many traditional Japanese recipes, such as a wrap in sushi or as a garnish for sashimi. They can be steamed, boiled, or salted and used as a side dish, or even pickled! One popular use is in miso soup for a flavoring. Add it dried or fresh to rice to add a bright flavor. Add in the place of mint in your favorite recipes to change things up!
