Description

The root is a horseradish substitute and the ground rhizome has the pungent spiciness of horseradish and, when finely grated and prepared into an attractive fresh green paste, is a popular condiment in Japan. All parts of the plant are edible, especially the rhizomes.

Care

Plant Wasabi in organic, loose, and crumbly soil with good drainage, but good moisture retention. Coarse sand can be added to improve drainage. The best temperature to grow Wasabi is between 46-70 degrees. 

Growth Habit

Harvest rhizomes by pulling the entire plant out of the ground. The best flavor is derived by grating the cleaned roots within thirty minutes of harvesting, but can be kept refrigerated for a month. Rhizomes can also be dried and ground for a longer shelf life. Wasabi can be propagated from plantlets that grow around the primary plant, or by dividing rhizomes. Wasabi is high in vitamin C, and also contains vitamin A and iron.
