Wasabi Spice Blend TERRE EXOTIQUE, 60 g.

This wasabi is to be mixed with soy sauce to accompany poultry. It will enhance your fish and sautéed garden vegetables.

Wasabi is what we can call a Japanese mustard. Both spicy and fresh, powdered wasabi is ideal for enhancing your preparations.

Wasabi is an entirely edible plant, meaning that it is possible to consume both the rhizome, leaves, and flowers. There are two types of wasabi, “sawa wasabi” which is cultivated in a semi-aquatic environment and “oka wasabi” whose quality is less important. Oka wasabi is cultivated in open fields. Wasabi is therefore a plant that grows in the water of streams at the foot of Japanese mountains only.

In spring, the buds bloom, and it is at this point that the root is ready to be harvested. When the rhizome is fresh, it is grated to obtain a paste, the leaves are crushed and then dried to obtain powder, and the flowers are used in fresh or dried cooking. Wasabi rhizome is extremely expensive, which is why few people have ever tasted real wasabi. In fact, in reality in the West, we make an amalgam, what we call “wasabi” is actually a mixture of horseradish powder and mustard.

Working with producers from all over the world, at Terre Exotique, we have made it a point to offer our customers a blend that contains real wasabi from Japan. That’s why our wasabi blend is composed of horseradish powder, mustard, and real wasabi leaves, a 100% natural product, directly from Japan. A perfect blend to experience the true flavors of this famous Japanese paste.
