Fresh Wasbai Root & Leaf
Now available in our produce department
31st Oct 2018 | Fresh Produce
Over 95% of wasabi served in sushi restaurants does not contain any real wasabi. Most fake wasabi is made from a blend of horseradish, mustard flour, cornstarch and green food colorant. This means that most people who think they know wasabi have actually never tasted the real thing! Now you can make your own! Often called the ‘root’ of wasabi, these fresh stems produce a powerfully hot, sweet and fragrant fresh wasabi paste whilst the glossy, deep-green, heart-shaped leaves are a tasty and versatile product. Their mild wasabi taste is great in salads. They work beautifully to dress up a plate and team perfectly with salmon for canapés!
