It’s that short, but intense burst of heat in the nasal passage that separates the world into two groups – those who love wasabi and those who don’t. But even for those of us who are addicted to that painful, but fun experience of eating wasabi, we may have never actually tried the spice. That’s because it is one of the most expensive spices in the world, which led to the creation of cheap imitations marketed as wasabi, but made entirely of horseradish, mustard, starch, and food coloring.
As it should be, the primary ingredient in our Premium Wasabi Powder is wasabi. We add in some horseradish and mustard powder to round out the flavor and make the spice more affordable, but we do not include starch and food coloring.
For a taste of real wasabi, try our Premium Wasabi Powder in a simple dipping sauce for sushi and other Japanese dishes. Or sprinkle it into homemade sandwich spreads or salad dressings for an added kick. Click on the “Recipe Ideas” tab to find out more.
