  • What is perilla oil?
  • Perilla oil is a Korean oil that is extracted from the seeds of the perilla plant. It is also known as perilla seed oil and is commonly used for cooking Korean dishes. Here you will find out what other benefits it has, how to store it, where to get it and how it differs from sesame oil.
  • How do perilla seeds get oil?
  • The oil is obtained by crushing the seeds, a process more appropriately called pressing. The seeds may be roasted first for a more intense flavor. On average, perilla seeds yield 35% to 45% oil, with half or more of it (54 to 64%) being ALA, alpha-linolenic acid, the plant form of Omega-3. About 14% is linoleic acid, an Omega-6 fatty acid.
  • How much oil does a perilla plant have?
  • The seeds of perilla are small end globular weight about 4 g/1000, contained approximately 35?45% oil. However the leaves are a very poor source of oil, since they contain only 0.2%. In addition, only the seed oil contains the omega 3 fatty acid alpha-linolenic acid (ALA).
  • What is the difference between perilla oil and leaf oil?
  • Perilla oil is most commonly extracted from seeds, although the leaves too yield oil. However, perilla oil generally refers to the oil obtained from pressing the seeds. The difference between the two is that perilla seed oil contains alpha-linolenic acid, a form of Omega-3 specific to plant sources, while the leaf oil doesn’t.
