I love shiso and make Raw Antiparasite Shiso Chips with different flavor very often. Shiso, the Japanese Herb Perilla has a very strong flavor and taste. Also I use raw pumpkin seeds in this recipe as well. Raw, hulled pumpkin seeds and shiso are a good antiparasitic for most types of parasites, but are best known for fighting tapeworms. Therefore, this raw shiso chips are amazing snacks for your kids!
The health benefits of shiso make it a popular herb used in natural medicine. Shiso leaves contain anti-inflammatory, antioxidants and allergy fighting properties. These properties in the shiso give the immune system a boost and help the skin look healthier by giving the complexion a radiant glow.The ALA fatty acid found in shiso can be converted to the highly recommended EPA or DHA fatty acids found in healthy fish such as salmon. The omega-3 fatty acids found in shiso as well as its natural anti-inflammatory properties are thought to reduce the risk of heart disease, heart attack and stroke. Shiso is also rich in vitamin A, which may lower the risk of developing certain types of cancer. You can buy oils and use it for your dressing and use it as cream for skin. Shiso gives the immune system a natural boost, and is used to treat a variety of health conditions.
I use fresh shiso leaves for my tea and salads, but my family doesnt like fresh shiso and love my raw shiso chips. So this is a very nice way to add shiso to your family’s diet. If you can find shiso leaves, try to make this recipe, you will like it, sure. 😉
