Rich in Omega-3 Fatty Acid (ALA)

[Bangyudang] Lightly Toasted Perilla Oil (P1 · Light Roast)

  • 100% Korea-grown perilla
  • Light roast
  • 1 ingredient
  • Vegan & HACCP-certified

Fish like tuna, salmon and mackerel are well-known sources of Omega-3 fatty acids. But perilla seeds contain more ALA, the plant form of Omega-3, than any other plant source. One tablespoon of perilla oil has roughly the same ALA content as a whole mackerel.

Bangyudang is an artisan grain roastery in Gwangju, Korea, with over 50 years of experience. This is their lightly roasted perilla oil, P1 (방유당 헤리티지 들기름 P1).

The seeds get a brief, low-heat roast, just enough to remove moisture, and are then pressed into oil. No high-temperature roasting. The result is a light, subtle oil that keeps nearly all of its natural nutrition, including its Omega-3.

A word on flavor: this oil is noticeably milder than a medium-toasted perilla oil, less fragrant and less aromatic. If you're used to the bold, nutty character of toasted perilla oil, this will taste quite different. The tradeoff is nutrition: skipping the high-heat roast means the oil holds on to more of its natural Omega-3.

Because the flavor is delicate, it shines as a finishing oil. Drizzle it over pan-fried tofu, stir-fried mushrooms or japchae just before serving, or use it as a salad dressing base or a simple rice topping. It also handles gentle cooking over medium heat.

Tried to love it

I bought this not to flavor my food but more so for the health benefits. Perilla is an amazing source of plant-based Omega 3s and I have been trying to increase my intake of them. Unfortunately, this oil leaves a fishy aftertaste for me, similar to fish oil supplements. I have tried mixing it into jjigaes to mask the flavor but have to admit that it is very strong. I haven't felt any adverse effects afterwards and still believe that it is very healthy, but I think it is definitely an acquired taste.

[Bangyudang] Lightly Toasted Perilla Oil (P1 · Light Roast)

방유당 헤리티지 들기름 P1

Bangyudang Heritage sesame and perilla oil bottles with roasted seeds

Bangyudang Heritage, est. 1972

Bangyudang's signature collection is rooted in the deep aroma of Korean sesame and perilla seeds, and inspired by gilsanghwa (吉祥花), Korea's traditional auspicious flower patterns.

It starts with the seed. Bangyudang picks only the finest Korea-grown grains and roasts them over a traditional flame, keeping every note of their natural fragrance.

P1 is their lightest roast: fresh and clear, with a subtle roasted scent that lets the perilla itself come through. Made from 100% Korea-grown perilla seeds, never imported, and roasted gently to keep most of its Omega-3.

P1: light roast

Fresh, clear perilla aroma from 100% Korea-grown perilla seeds. It comes in two sizes, a 200 mL and a 320 mL bottle.

Bangyudang P1 light roast perilla oil flavor profile

Fresh and clean, lightly roasted

A light, delicate flavor where the freshness of the seed shines through a subtle roasted scent.

The roast only takes the moisture out, so the nuttiness stays mild and centered on the perilla aroma, with a light, crisp finish.

Dishes finished with Bangyudang P1 perilla oil

What to use it on

Raw dishes like sashimi, salad dressings, light dishes and gently cooked food.

Bangyudang perilla oil lineup: P1 light roast and P3 medium roast

P1 or P3?

P1 (light roast) is lighter and cleaner, with a softer, fresh aroma. It suits raw dishes, dressings and mild-heat cooking, anywhere you want a delicate perilla flavor.

P3 (medium roast) is deeper and bolder, with a thicker, smokier nuttiness. It's the one for banchan (muchim) and bibim dishes, where you want the perilla to stand out.

Time-honored, bottled for you

The bottles draw on gilsanghwa (吉祥花), Korea's traditional auspicious flower patterns, and are meant to reflect the value of time.

Storage guide for Bangyudang oils

Keep it in a cool pantry, not the fridge

Oil has five enemies: light, oxygen, heat, moisture, and metals and enzymes.

Store the bottle indoors at room temperature (59–68°F / 15–20°C), away from direct light. Sunlight and heat speed up oxidation, and in the fridge, condensation can add moisture that dulls the oil.

Bangyudang roastery in its early days

Bangyudang, since 1972

Bangyudang is a seed roaster in Gwangju, Gyeonggi-do, South Korea. They've been roasting grains since 1972; this photo is from the early days.

Over 50 years, the owner (pictured) has mastered the art of grain roasting. Bangyudang specializes in traditional Korean grains and oils.

The four steps that set Bangyudang oils apart

What makes it different?

Moisture. The water left in a washed, dried seed decides its aroma: too much and the oil turns dull and grassy, too little and it scorches. Bangyudang sets it just right for each seed.

Flame. A proprietary 3-stage radiant-heat roast sets the depth of flavor, from soft to boldly nutty.

Rapid cooling. The moment roasting ends, the seeds are cooled fast to lock the aroma in at its peak.

Micro-filtration. Impurities are filtered out, so the oil stays clear and stable from the first drop to the last.

Bangyudang BGST roasting process and technology

BGST process and technology

Bangyudang goes beyond simple roasting with what it calls BGST: moisture set for each seed variety, far-infrared roasting that heats every grain evenly to the core, rapid cooling to lock in the aroma, and micro-filtration that cuts the compounds behind rancidity. They're also working to cut their carbon footprint.

Far-infrared roasting raises flavor and antioxidants and lowers bitterness

Far-infrared roasting

Far-infrared heat reaches evenly into the core of every seed. Bangyudang says this raises the phenolic content and antioxidant capacity of the perilla, keeps the oil fresh for longer, deepens the flavor and cuts bitterness for a smoother finish.

Bangyudang HACCP certificates and production line

HACCP-certified

Bangyudang's sesame and perilla oil lines are HACCP-certified at every stage, from roasting through filtering and bottling.

Vegan Society certificate of registration for Bangyudang

Vegan-certified

Registered with The Vegan Society: 100% plant-based, with no animal-derived ingredients.

How to enjoy it

Drizzle it over salads, sashimi, tofu or namul, stir it into bibimbap, or finish soups and noodles just before serving. Being a light roast, it also works in place of regular cooking oil over medium heat. 1–2 tablespoons a day is plenty.

Product FAQ

Ask a Question
Where are the perilla seeds from?

100% Korea-grown. Bangyudang uses only Korean perilla seeds, never imported ones.

What does it taste like?

P1 is a light roast: lighter and cleaner than P3, with a softer, fresh perilla aroma and a mild nuttiness. It suits dishes where you want a more delicate perilla flavor, like dressings, raw dishes or lightly seasoned food.

Can I cook with it over heat?

Yes, over medium heat. Being lightly roasted, P1 works well in place of regular cooking oil and adds a gentle nuttiness. For high-heat dishes, add it as a finishing drizzle after cooking instead.

How much should I use per day?

Perilla oil is rich in Omega-3 (alpha-linolenic acid, ALA): Bangyudang's has about 63 g of ALA per 100 g. Korea's dietary reference intakes (2020) put the daily ALA target for adult men aged 19–29 at 1.6 g, so one spoonful (about 10 g) a day covers it comfortably. It's still a plant-based fat, so 1–2 tablespoons (10–30 g) a day is the sweet spot: in a dressing, on vegetables, or drizzled over rice or noodles.

How should I store it?

At room temperature (59–68°F / 15–20°C) in a cool, shady spot, not in the fridge, where condensation adds moisture that dulls the oil. It keeps for 24 months from the date of manufacture; close the cap tightly after each use.

What about allergies?

The only ingredient is perilla seed. If you have a seed allergy or any medical concern, please check with your doctor first.

Where is this made - South Korea?
