Ao Shiso is a traditional Japanese herb with refreshing aromatic green-frilled leaves. Also known as Beefsteak plant, Ao Shiso has a bushy growth habit and is also grown as sprouts or microgreens. As the plant matures, its leaves can be pinched off for use which promotes branching and leaf production.
