High Omega-3 Vegetarian Fish Oil
Perilla seed oil is a natural oil extracted from the mature seeds of the herbaceous plant Perilla frutescens. It is rich in omega-3s, a polyunsaturated fatty acid, and boasts the highest omega-3 content of any known plant seed oil. Omega-3s are essential fatty acids, unable to be produced by the body, making them the most vulnerable to deficiency and requiring dietary intake.
Perilla seed oil contains approximately 55-65% omega-3s and 13-15% omega-6s per 100 grams of fat, making it suitable for vegetarians due to its greater stability and lower cholesterol content. This is why it is also known as the "vegetarian deep-sea fish oil."
Perilla is a rare herb that can be used as both medicine and food, and has a history of health and wellness in China and Japan for thousands of years. Leezen's perilla seed oil uses perilla seeds grown in the Changbai Mountains. They are specially roasted and pressed at a low temperature of 60-65 degrees. The roasting temperature is adjusted according to the moisture content of the seeds, and only the fresh oil from the first pressing is used. Although low-temperature pressing can only yield 36% of the oil, it ensures the natural nutrients, freshness, and unique flavor of perilla seed oil. It also increases the oil's stability and reduces its deterioration rate. The resulting oil is golden and clear, with a refreshing and non-sticky taste.
Perilla seed oil is suitable for general consumption, especially for the elderly. It is also suitable for pregnant women and children. With a smoke point above 189°C/372°F, it can be consumed raw, as a dipping sauce in salads, or as a hot cooking. High-temperature frying or cooking is not recommended. For raw consumption, a daily intake of approximately 10-15 cc is sufficient.
