1. Introduction to Dehydrated Perilla Leaves
Table of Contents
Perilla (Perilla frutescens), known as Tía Tô in Vietnam, is often called the “Purple Mint.” It is a staple of Asian herbalism, revered for its striking bicolored leaves (green and purple) and its unique, pungent aroma—a sophisticated blend of cinnamon, mint, and licorice.
At Vinahugo, we utilize Cold-Drying or Freeze-Drying (FD) technology to preserve the delicate essential oils (specifically Perillaldehyde) and the vibrant anthocyanins that give the plant its medicinal color. Our dried perilla offers a convenient, high-potency alternative to fresh leaves, perfect for pharmaceutical, cosmetic, and culinary applications.
