Wasabi powder is produced solely by grinding the powdered roots of Wasabi Japonica (Eutrema japonica). The plant is also known as "Japanese horseradish".

Wasabi is a type of plant from the cruciferous family (Brassicaceae), the only representative of the genus Eutrema. The plant is found growing wild along the mountain river valleys of Japan.

Most often, Wasabi is used as a seasoning for sushi. Unlike sauces that are based on chili extract, horseradish or mustard, the spicy effect of wasabi is extremely strong.

Wasabi is one of the most difficult crops to grow in the world. Also called Japanese horseradish, this species is closely adapted to living conditions in the mountain streams of Central Japan. In its natural environment, the plant grows in clean spring waters with a temperature between 13 and 18C, shaded in the forest massifs, where the humidity, even in summer, is very high, and the air temperature is between 8 and 20C.

Few places are suitable for large-scale wasabi cultivation, and cultivation is difficult even under ideal conditions. Because the demand for wasabi is very high, Japan imports from China, Taiwan, Korea, Israel, Thailand and New Zealand. In North America, there are significantly fewer wasabi companies, and in the UK there is only one grower.

Advantages:

Wasabi powder is prepared through special processing and drying techniques that preserve the taste qualities of the fresh product. The raw roots are deep frozen, then the moisture is removed by vacuum sublimation before grinding. Without this technology, it would be impossible for the authentic taste of Wasabi Japonica to reach consumers around the world. One of the great advantages of wasabi powder is its relatively long shelf life. If you store it in a dark and cool place, it will retain its qualities for a long time.

We offer you a product that has no analogue both on the Bulgarian market and on a large part of the world market. Wasabi powder is the real wasabi you've never tried, even if you're a huge sushi lover. This product is not manufactured and does not contain horseradish, mustard or chili, does not contain any coloring, flavoring or imitation ingredients.

What is the difference between Wasabi Japonica and imitation products?

Imitation spices are so popular that many Japanese food lovers are surprised by the taste when they have the opportunity to taste the real wasabi. Unlike other spicy flavorings, wasabi's burning sensation does not last long. It primarily stimulates the nasal passages rather than the tongue senses like chili and pepper. Its hot, distinct flavor adds real zing to the bland foods it accompanies, then quickly subsides to leave a memorable sweet aftertaste. To prepare wasabi, the rhizome is used, which is grated with a special grater until a fine paste is obtained. Fresh wasabi root paste is extremely perishable. Once prepared, it loses its quality in minutes if it is not stored in a closed container.

Ingredients:

100% Wasabi powder (Wasabi Japonica) /Eutrema japonica/.

Method of preparation:

Wasabi powder can easily be made into a paste that comes closest to the subtle, nuanced flavor of freshly grated wasabi. Wasabi powder can also be used as a seasoning in cooking, to flavor salad dressings, sauces, sweet and savory dishes, drinks, etc.

To enjoy the unique taste qualities of real wasabi, carefully follow the following recommendations:
1. Mix equal amounts of Wasabi powder and water.
2. Stir vigorously until a homogeneous mixture is obtained.
3. Cover the container in which you prepared the wasabi and wait 10 minutes. This way, the taste qualities of the real wasabi are activated.

Important! Ready-made pasta quickly loses its taste. Consume in short periods.

Real Wasabi powder can also be used to flavor a number of food products. The required dosage is very small. As an example - to flavor 10 kilograms of cheese, only 1 gram of real wasabi powder will be needed.

If you are a lover of exotic flavors, you can add wasabi powder to ice cream as well. Be careful with the dosage! For the preparation of 1 kg homemade ice cream, use just a little wasabi powder - on the tip of the spoon.
