Selection and preservation skills of perilla leaves
Perilla leaves have teardrop-shaped serrations on the edge, and the sides are purple to purple blue. Perilla leaves are big, stems are short, and the back is purple. It smells spicy and rich, and it is the best. Perilla leaves should be large and complete, with deep purple color and rich aroma. Don't pick perilla with broken leaves and many wormholes. Soak perilla in clear water for a few minutes, and then observe whether there is any stain in the clear water. If clear water has color, it is not suitable for choice.
Fresh perilla, washed, slightly dried, put into fresh-keeping bags, put into refrigerator fruit and vegetable boxes for fresh-keeping and refrigeration, which can be kept for about a week. Perilla frutescens can also be preserved in the same way as flowers, by cutting the end of the stem short and putting it in a bottle filled with water. Cover it loosely with a plastic bag, which will keep it fresh for at least a week.
