Plant oil extracted from perilla seeds (white perilla or perilla seeds) through cold pressing or solvent extraction processes. It is rich in alpha linolenic acid (Omega-3 fatty acids) and is known as the "deep-sea fish oil of the plant kingdom". It is one of the high-end edible oils in a healthy diet.
Alpha linolenic acid (ALA) accounts for up to 50% -65% and can be partially converted into DHA and EPA, which contribute to cardiovascular and cerebrovascular health. Containing antioxidant ingredients such as rosmarinic acid and flavonoids, it delays oil oxidation and is suitable for cold dishes or low-temperature cooking. With the unique herbal fragrance of perilla, it can add flavor to dishes.
