About Wasabi paste

Wasabi paste is a vibrant green condiment originating from Japan, made from the grated stem of the Wasabia japonica plant or, more commonly, horseradish and mustard powders mixed with green food coloring for affordability. It offers a sharp, spicy flavor that enhances sushi, sashimi, and other dishes. Authentic wasabi is prized for its fresh taste and is less fiery compared to substitutes. Rich in antioxidants and anti-inflammatory compounds, it may support immune health and digestion. However, commercial paste often contains artificial ingredients, added sugar, and sodium, which can detract from its health benefits. Wasabi’s bold flavor encourages mindful portion control, making it a flavorful choice for those seeking a kick without excess calories. Its unique spiciness stems from its volatile compounds, which dissipate quickly, delivering a fleeting yet memorable heat.
