Wasabi Plant

Product Description

Did you know that most of the Wasabi we eat in the UK is actually a bogus concoction of mustard & horseradish? Origin: Japan. In fact, real Wasabi tubers lose their potent flavour within a day of being grated & cost an arm & a leg, hence the cheap mustard imitation! So growing your own is the perfect way to ensure you get an authentic Japanese experience. As well as the potent stem, the beautiful lily pad shaped leaves have a gentler wasabi tang & are fantastic wrapped around raw or smoked salmon with pickled ginger & a slick of cream cheese; exotic hors doeuvres your friends will never have tried before! Wasabi positively prefers overcast, damp, chilly weather, perfect!
