Lawa mafutha enziwe nge-Perilla frutescens, isitshalo esinamaqabunga, esinamaqabunga emndenini we-mint owaziwa nangokuthi "i-basil yasendle" (ngoba ivame ukuphutha nge-basil), "i-purple mint," "i-rattlesnake ukhula," kanye "ne-Shiso." Njengoba ikhule ngokwesiko emazweni ase-Asia, uPerilla weza e-US ngasekupheleni kwawo-1800, elethwa abokufika base-Asia. Inephunga eliqinile, elincanyana (yize abanye belichaze njengelifana nesinamoni noma i-licorice), futhi lithanda ukukhanya okuphakathi nendawo eswakeme kahle nenhlabathi ecebile, kanye nelanga eliningi. Ingakhula ifike kumafidi amane ubude, ibe namahlamvu ansundu aphenduka abe nsomi abebomvu ekwindla. Kokubili amaqabunga amancane nezithombo ziyadliwa kulesi sitshalo, ziluhlaza noma ziphekiwe. Amaqabunga avame ukusetshenziswa njengezinongo, okuphekwe, noma okuthosiwe, futhi angase ahlanganiswe nelayisi, inhlanzi, isobho, nemifino. Ungangeza izithombo kumasaladi, kanye namahlamvu amadala okunambitheka kunoma yini. E-Asia, amaqoqo ezimbali angavuthiwe asetshenziswa kusobho kanye ne-tofu ebandayo, kanye nembewu yokunonga i-tempura ne-miso. AmaJapane nawo ayisebenzisela ukwenza ama-plums afakwe emanzini anosawoti, abizwa ngokuthi “umeboshi plums.” E-US, amafutha abalulekile e-perilla avame ukusetshenziselwa ukunambitha ukudla, amaswidi, namasoso. Kokubili amaqabunga kanye nembewu kunezakhi eziningi ezilungele wena, okuhlanganisa amaprotheni, ama-fatty acids, nama-antioxidants alwa nezifo.
Izinzuzo
I-Perilla igqama kakhulu ngokunikeza isikhumba—isikhumba esizwelayo ikakhulukazi. Ihle kakhulu ekwelapheni isikhumba esigugayo - inothe nge-omega-3, iyapholisa, ilungisa futhi inikeze isivikelo esinamandla se-antioxidant esikhumbeni esivuthiwe nesiguga. Icebile ngama-flavone, inikeza umsebenzi onamandla we-antioxidant ngaleyo ndlela isiza ukuvimbela umonakalo owenziwe mahhala kumaseli esikhumba, okungaholela ekugugeni ngaphambi kwesikhathi. Lawa mafutha angamafutha 'omile' angena kalula esikhunjeni. Ayinamafutha futhi iwusizo emikhiqizweni ehlukahlukene.
I-Perilla futhi inikeza izinzuzo ezilandelayo zesikhumba:
