Wasabi Paste

Wasabi Paste is a pungent Japanese condiment made from grated horseradish (or horseradish-like ingredients) and is most commonly served with sushi, sashimi and other Japanese dishes for its sharp, sinus-clearing heat. It is typically used in small amounts as a flavoring rather than a main ingredient. Nutritionally, it can be quite high in sodium for a paste — about 3.39g per 100g — and many commercial versions also contain added sugar and oils, so portion size matters. Wasabi contains sulfur-containing compounds (glucosinolates and their breakdown products) that give it its distinctive heat and are associated with antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory actions, and it also provides some vitamin K; however, commercial pastes are often ultra-processed, so choosing purer or less-processed alternatives and using it sparingly is a sensible approach.Read more
