Pure Perilla Pearls — Single-Origin from Meghalaya

Perilla seeds come from Perilla frutescens, a plant in the mint family grown across Northeast India and East Asia. The seeds are tiny, round and toasty — nutty and faintly sesame-like, with more depth once you warm them in a dry pan.

In Meghalaya they're ground into chutneys and folded into rice cakes. Whole seeds, nothing added.

Good in: toasted over rice or noodles, ground into chutney, stirred into yogurt or oatmeal, sprinkled on salads, baked into bread.

About

Meghalayan perilla seeds (locally called nei lieh or bhangjeera) are tiny, nutrient-dense seeds from the mint family. Grown wild in the hills of Northeast India, they are a powerful, plant-based source of Omega-3 fatty acids and make a great vegetarian alternative to chia seeds

How to use ?

  • Sprinkle on oatmeal, smoothie bowls, fruit, or salads for a nutty crunch
  • Mix into curries, soups, and stews to elevate flavor and nutrition
  • Add to baked goods like muffins, bread, and granola
  • Blend into smoothies for a daily dose of Omega-3s
  • Eat straight as a crunchy, nutritious snack

Storage shelf life

To maintain freshness and aroma:

  • Store in an airtight glass or steel container to prevent exposure to air and humidity.
  • Keep away from moisture, steam, and direct heat sources like the stove.
  • Avoid direct sunlight; store in a cool, dark cupboard or pantry.
  • Do not refrigerate unless in very humid climates, and even then, keep it well-sealed to prevent condensation.
  • Always use a clean, dry spoon when scooping to avoid contamination.
  • Keep away from strong-smelling foods (like coffee or spices with heavy aroma) to avoid flavor transfer.
  • Shelf life: Up to 2 years from packaging when stored properly.
  • For best flavor, use within 12 months of opening.
