Green Stem Wasabi
Did you know that the intensely sharp and spicy green wasabi paste that you get served with sushi isn't actually real wasabi? According to Business Insider, up to 99% of wasabi sold in the USA is nothing more than a knock-off mixture of horseradish, hot mustard, and green dye. Even in Japan, up to 95% of wasabi is fake there too. It seems that true wasabi (Wasabia Japonica) is rare, difficult to grow, and quite expensive. So, knowing all of that, do you want to try the real deal?
This cool new Green Stem Wasabi is a long stem of fresh true green wasabi that is expertly cultivated from humid, mountainous regions in Japan and sourced by Regalis Foods, who supplies rare and specialty foods to top Michelin-starred chefs around the world. This tangy blast of genuine refreshing spiciness that also tends to clear out your sinuses is perfect for grating and enjoying with your favorite sushi, infusing with soups, sauces, noodle dishes, and other recipes, or just gifting to a fellow foodie friend. A little goes a long way, so it's good to know that this will also stay fresh for up to 3 weeks in the fridge. Now if the price is a little too steep for your demanding palate, here's how you can learn to grow your own as well. 🍣🥵
