The Green Paste served up with most sushi & sashimi is HORSERADISH …. There is nothing subtle about this paste, almost like a punch in the face, an assault on your nasal passages and taste. REAL WASABI takes your senses on a journey. First the unique Wasabi FRAGRANCE - SWEETNESS - & then the SPICINESS awakens the senses just enough to complement the taste of Sushi and Sashimi. REAL WASABI is difficult to grow, hence its price is more than TEN TIMES Horseradish. REAL WASABI paste comes from grating its rhizome. It is this mechanical action which triggers the chemical reaction at the plant’s cellular level to manifest its seductive qualities. ALL parts of the Wasabi Plant are edible. The leaves, a mysterious spicy addition to salads, and the stems made into pesto, even the roots are extra tasty. REAL WASABI has many health benefits; Anti-inflammatory, respiratory, anti-bacterial, to name a few. Wasabi does NOT like sun or heat, it must have PURE cold water and does NOT thrive in soil. We grow Mazuma Wasabi, most desired by sushi chefs, here in the cool lush hills of the Huon Valley. Using organic and biodynamic principles for the growing medium, pest control and fertiliser, with pure rainwater straight off the southern ocean.
