The Wasabi You Eat Probably Isn’t Wasabi

  • Most of the time, the wasabi you get in a restaurant or buy in a store is fake. It’s actually horseradish that’s colored green. Why? Well, wasabi is a notoriously difficult plant to grow. In fact, it’s considered the most difficult plant in the world to farm commercially. Yet for the past century, the Daio Wasabi Farm in Hokata, Japan, has been growing it successfully with natural spring water from nearby mountains.

      Aniket Mondal Sharks may look smooth, but upon close inspection, their skin is as rough as sandpaper due to tiny pointed scales. So yes, that traditional grater, called orishigane, is sharkskin.

    For all of those in the US, you may have had real wasabi IN the US as it can grow in certain parts of the northwest coast, predominantly in Oregon :) Some states do get shipments from there. That's where I experienced my first real wasabi, and I've never had the powdered version again. The difference is tremendous and I've never been able to overcome it!

  • @StudioRevoct
    @StudioRevoct Рік тому +10

    If you've ever had Natto, they pack it with Hot Mustard, and after tasting it I felt it was similar to store bought Wasabi. Doing more digging, the fake Wasabi most places use is made with Hot Mustard, which explains the similarity. Real Wasabi is actually a lot milder, and almost has a green tea like aftertaste.

    • @Phillyprnc
      @Phillyprnc 8 років тому +144

      It is not spicier than the "fake" stuff. It is more mild and complex and can easily be eaten (tasted) by itself. It is quite expensive to buy at a grocery store. I have bought it on days when the store has a fresh tuna they cut up and sell to everyone. They us a board with shark skin one it to grate it in restaurants. I have not bought one of these.. yet.

    • @dnguyen253
      @dnguyen253 7 років тому +6

      Your Favorite Dildo like dissolves like. Capsicum -the spicy part- is hydrophobic. Oil is also hydrophobic. Both attracts each other so when you eat it washes away faster. It's the reason people drink milk after eating really spicy things since milk has fat in it.

Basically, instead of producing seeds and dying off completely, plants that reproduce via rhizome, basically grow a new plant from a root so that even if the original plant dies, there's a whole new one. It's actually almost like cloning.

      I see how it’s less “authentic” but it doesn’t mean it’s worse. Considering the difficulty and price it would already be batter than the dyed horse radish. Having a GMO farm doesn’t mean that the “organic” stuff will be discontinued either.

    I've been cultivating wasabi up here in the mountains of southwestern Pennsylvania but the rhizomes are very small.
    I wonder how long it takes to grow larger ones like in this video.

    wasabi is a type of horseradish, they are the same family oof plant. Real horseradish has a temporary heat that hitsb the nasal passage followed by a mild sweetness too.

    I had a wasabi challenge one with a friend he ate like a finger of wasabi without feeling anything. And then I tried and cryed in the next 3 seconds and had to ask him to get me milk....And after 2 glasses of milk I was still crying and he felt nothing.
    This is like my summery of how much I can take.

    @promontorium 6 років тому

    I sought out some real wasabi a year ago. Eaten fresh it's somewhere between regular radish and horseradish. Wet, a little spicy, a nice sensation in the nose. Not overpowering. I bought a wasabi grater for the occasion (easier to find those than actual wasabi) it grinds down fibrous. I would imagine to get it into a paste you'd have to use a blender, but you don't need to in order to eat it.
    I looked into it, everywhere it's grown, it's expensive. Got me thinking about growing some myself.

    A lot of people know that most of the cheaper wasabi is green colored horse radish. Real wasabi is expensive so people should know better. A farmer in the US found out how to grow it in non-native conditions, he patented it and has other farmers work for him growing it.
