About Wasabi, root, raw
Fresh wasabi root is a semi-aquatic plant native to Japan, prized for its sinus-clearing heat and bright, grassy flavor that is categorically different from the horseradish-based paste sold as "wasabi" in most Western restaurants. The real thing is grated fresh on a sharkskin grater just before serving, and the heat is volatile - it peaks within minutes and fades quickly. The carbohydrate content is moderate, protein is solid for a root vegetable, and fiber is notably high. True fresh wasabi is expensive and perishable, making it a specialty item even in Japan.
