About Wasabi, root, raw

Wasabi (Eutrema japonicum), often called Japanese horseradish, is a pungent green condiment made from the grated rhizome of a plant in the cabbage family that grows in cold, clear mountain stream water in Japan. Freshly grated, it delivers a sharp, fiery heat that rushes up through the nose rather than burning the tongue, a sensation that fades quickly into a clean, slightly sweet, herbal finish. Wasabi contains beneficial plant compounds and only a trace of calories in the small amounts used.

It is the classic accompaniment to sushi and sashimi, traditionally dabbed between the fish and rice, and it also flavors dressings, sauces, noodles, and snack peas. True fresh wasabi is rare and costly, so most paste and powder sold outside Japan is actually horseradish tinted green with a little mustard. The heat develops only after grating and dissipates within minutes, so it is prepared just before serving.

Store the fresh rhizome wrapped in the refrigerator and grate it as needed.
