Perilla Oil
Perilla Oil is a pressed seed oil commonly used as a finishing or salad oil in a variety of cuisines; it’s derived from flax (also called linseed) and sometimes sold as perilla or linseed oil in some regions. It is prized for its high content of plant-based omega-3 fats, providing about 53000mg of omega-3s per 100g, which is mainly alpha-linolenic acid (ALA). Nutritionally it is essentially pure fat with negligible protein or fiber, so it contributes beneficial essential fats and some vitamin E but should be used in small amounts; it’s best used cold or added after cooking because the delicate omega-3s oxidize and break down with high heat.
