Shiso is a fragrant Japanese basil that is high in calcium and iron. Its leaves can be used to wrap an onigiri (rice ball) or fry in tempura batter for a crispy side dish. The leaves can also be used to wrap fish before grilling, or dried to make tea. This ingenious cultivation kit includes seeds, peat mix, and growing instructions, all packaged up and tied in the style of a traditional Japanese rice bag.

About Cultivate + Eat
When we grow our own food, we become more attuned to our ecosystem, strengthening the relationship between our food, our earth, and our bodies. Cultivate + Eat is an effort to get involved in every step of our meal, starting from the very beginning. Their kits contain rare Japanese seeds you can grow right at home to make delicious Japanese dishes. Just add water directly into the paper bag (it is lined with plastic to prevent decay) and begin to grow your own greens, transplanting to a larger pot when ready.
