Wasabi Powder

Wasabi powder is explosive, sharp and tongue tingling! The vibrant green powder is also known as Japanese horseradish, which is made from the roots of the Brassicaceae plant. This is from the same family as mustard. Commonly associated with sushi and sashimi, wasabi is usually either sandwiched between fish and rice or used to dip.

Wasabi powder is made from the root of the wasabi plant, which is native to Japan. The plant has a long history of cultivation and has been used in Japanese cuisine for centuries. It’s been found to have a number of health benefits, including anti-inflammatory and antibacterial properties. It’s also high in vitamin C and antioxidants.

Growing wasabi is a difficult and expensive process, as the plant requires very specific growing conditions including cool temperatures and high humidity. As a result, most wasabi is still grown in Japan, although there are some farms in other parts of the world that are attempting to cultivate the plant.

Wasabi pairs well with cold food such as avocado, fish, ginger, soy and noodles. Be careful as the delicate undertones are destroyed when heated.

Many products labeled as “wasabi” are actually made from a mixture of horseradish, mustard, and food coloring. Real wasabi, which is made from the fresh wasabi root, is much more expensive and difficult to find outside of Japan

To use simply mix with water to form a thick paste and leave the flavour to develop for 10 minutes. Learn more about wasabi from our blog by clicking here.
