About Mugwort mochi

Mugwort Mochi is a traditional Japanese treat made from glutinous rice flour, water, sugar, and the herb mugwort, which lends its distinctive earthy green color and mild herbal flavor. Mugwort, rich in antioxidants and believed in traditional medicine to support digestion, adds a unique nutritional element to this dessert. Mochi is traditionally steamed and pounded into a sticky, chewy texture, often filled with sweetened red bean paste for added flavor. While Mugwort Mochi is gluten-free and contains some beneficial plant compounds, it is high in carbohydrates and sugar, making it best enjoyed in moderation. Originating in Japanese cuisine, it is popular during seasonal celebrations, notably in spring when mugwort is harvested. Known for its cultural significance and comforting taste, it’s a delightful way to savor a blend of tradition and natural ingredients.
