Two teaspoons of wasabi, made from the ground rhizome of the Japanese wasabi plant or horseradish-like substitutes, pack a pungent burst of flavor often associated with Japanese cuisine. Commonly used as a condiment for sushi, sashimi, and other dishes, wasabi is prized for its sharp, spicy kick and unique aroma. A serving this size contains minimal calories, virtually no fat, and negligible protein or carbohydrates, making it a low-calorie addition to meals. Wasabi also contains compounds like isothiocyanates, which are believed to have antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. However, its strong potency means a little goes a long way, and overconsumption might irritate sensitive stomachs. Be mindful that many commercially available wasabi pastes are blends of horseradish, mustard, and food coloring, which may lack the nutritional and health benefits of authentic wasabi.
