Fresh Real Wasabi Rhizomes (Root) | Authentic Wasabia japonica

Fresh Real Wasabi Rhizomes   

Beautiful appearance, nice size and full complex flavor profile

Authentic Wasabia japonica rhizomes are renowned for their distinctive flavor and aroma. Unlike most wasabi products in the world which are made from horseradish, green coloring and Chinese mustard, real wasabi offers a complex taste profile with subtle sweetness, mild heat, and lingering umami notes.

While revered for their unique flavour for centuries, authentic wasabi rhizomes also offer a plethora of health benefits:

 Antimicrobial action. The rhizomes (roots) are packed with natural microbe protection that helps inhibit the growth of many harmful bacteria and pathogens.

 Digestive aid. The spicy flavor of our rhizomes stimulates the production of saliva and gastric juice in the stomach, which helps break down food.

 Improved circulation. Circulation stimulation means more efficient oxygen delivery throughout your body and removal of waste products. 

 Inflammation reduction. Wasabi rhizomes act as natural anti-inflammatory ingredient helping alleviate soreness and soothe pain. These effects are also excellent for lowering the risk of chronic diseases.

The best way to release the rhizomes aromatic oils and optimize the flavor is grating with a traditional sharkskin or fine textured grater. The fresh paste should be consumed within 15-30 minutes of preparation to savor its peak flavor and aroma.Enjoy this rare treat NOW in 1/4 Lb., 1/2 Lb., 1 Lb., 2 Lb., 3 Lb., and 5 Lb. packages.

Maintain freshness by either wrapping the rhizomes in a slightly damp cloth or paper towel, or imersing them in a jar or glass of water and storing them in the refrigerator.
