  Yes, you can. Grind them using a coffee grinder.

In China, there are some kinds of perilla seed. Different color: Grey (Korean like it!)/ White (European like it!)/ Brown (price is lowest!). Different size: bigger/ smaller.
Sesame seed can be classified white/ black/ brown. And there are with shell and no shell (kernels). The sesame seed will have some grades.
Hope every body can benefit from my comment.

Sooooo, that’s the plant that I saw outside the Korean Restaurant I went :-D The Korean term for this plant confused me because Perilla or Shiso doesn’t taste or smell sesame at all. It’s one of my favourite leaves and I really want to find the Purple Perilla as well. I think I will ask some of the cuttings of the Green Perilla from the restaurant later on :-D

I am trying to find this powder. I am wanting to make Gamjatang. I can’t find it anywhere. I live in Canada, in a small city called Halifax. I even have a friend who lives in NYC looking for me in Chinatown. Anyone have an online website where i could order it? Thanks a bunch.

  Call the store if they have “deulkkae garu” or not before going.

Perilla seeds are the seeds of what is also know as Shiso. The seeds are described as having an anise or cinnamon flavor depending on the color. I have had Shiso leaf in my pickled ginger for sushi. It seems that the Japanese use the leaf extensively for garnish. So yes, they are very different from sesame seeds :D
