REFERENCE DIRECTORY - WASABI NEWS
Real Wasabi LLC has been in the business of growing, importing and promoting "Real Wasabi" for longer than anyone in North America.
We have acquired a wealth of knowledge about wasabi in our own right, from cultivation methods to health benefits, to its flavor-enhancing magnificence.
It is our mission to educate everyone about the difference between fake and real wasabi, and we want everyone to try the real deal, at least once. While there is nothing wrong with horseradish and mustard, we believe that calling it "wasabi" is deceitful. People should know what they are eating.
Wasabi was originally paired with sushi for its amazing anti-microbial properties, making it much safer to consume raw fish. Historically, wasabi has been used medicinally to combat and treat food poisoning and other digestive disorders. Newer studies have revealed many more medicinal benefits, including anti-inflammatory and cancer-fighting properties. Nutraceutical companies are taking note and beginning to produce supplements containing this rare and miraculous superfood.
As the popularity and love of Japanese cuisine flourishes, we have also seen a tremendous interest in wasabi recipes spanning far beyond sushi. From noodle dishes to salad dressings, the versatility of wasabi as a flavor enhancer truly sets it up there on a pedestal with garlic for both its healing properties and its' culinary splendor.
While we have acquired vast knowledge in our own right, we are on a mission to compile all the interesting articles and information available on the internet. We are proud to present the largest online database in existence for wasabi related news, from cultivation developments, recipes, hair growth studies, and medicinal properties, our compilation of these resources, thus far, is as follows:
