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

  3. 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.

    Korean perilla is a little different than Japanese perilla.

  6. 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.

    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
