We grow two herbs that are new to many people. Silene or sculpit is an Italian herb with grey green thin leaves on a woody stem. It is a wonderful Italian herb for salad - green or pasta, egg dishes, and risotto. It tastes like a blend or arugula, chicory, and tarragon.
Shiso is a Japanese herb that may be familiar to people who enjoy nori maki - rice wrapped in nori that is often filled with vegetables and sliced like refrigerator cookies or a jellyroll. Shiso is used to flavor rice dishes, soups, stir fry, and salads. It is a lively fresh green herb, and is often called Japanese basil as it has large green leaves with a great distinctive flavor.
