Micro Shiso Cress

Add Micro Shiso Cress to your dishes for a flavor unlike any other herb in your kitchen. This microgreen carries notes of mint, basil, and anise with a slight spice, a complex taste that chefs across Dubai rely on for sushi, sashimi, and composed Asian plates. Its small, tender leaves bring both bold flavor and a clean, refined look to any dish.

Micro Shiso Cress works as more than a garnish. Its layered flavor cuts through rich or fatty dishes, balances raw fish, and adds depth to broths, noodle bowls, and fusion plates. Restaurants and hotels across Dubai order this microgreen for its consistency and its ability to elevate a plate without overpowering the main ingredient. Grown in a clean, controlled environment without soil or pesticides, each batch reaches you fresh and ready for service. Pair it with our Zaatar Leaves for a herb pairing that spans Asian and Middle Eastern flavor profiles, or browse our full Vegetables category for more fresh herbs and microgreens.

Storage and Use

Store Micro Shiso Cress refrigerated at 2 to 5°C, in its original packaging, and use within 3 to 5 days for best flavor. Keep it dry until you’re ready to use it, since moisture speeds up wilting. Scatter fresh leaves over sushi, sashimi, or a rice bowl for authentic flavor and presentation. Use it in composed Japanese dishes, grilled meats, or even fruit-based desserts for a sweet, herbal contrast.
