Description
Wasabi leaves are the fastest growing part of the wasabi plant (Wasabia japonica). Naturally, the wasabi plant grows in swampy areas in Japan. During its life cycle, most of its energy is spent growing leaves. In winter, these leaves become exhausted and fall off, storing all the nutrients in the rhizome (the ‘rhizome’ from which wasabi paste is made). These fresh, heart-shaped wasabi leaves are grown with care in our own Dutch greenhouses. These wasabi leaves vary in size individually and average 20 cm wide.
Flavor Profile
They are fresh green leaves with a nice texture and a mildly tangy and spicy wasabi taste, without the sharp heat of the wasabi rhizome. They offer a special and original addition to all kinds of dishes.
Application
Wasabi leaves are surprisingly versatile. Use them raw in salads for a subtle, spicy touch or as an eye-catcher on the plate. Ideally combine with Japanese ponzu as a dressing (also found in our assortment). They are delicious processed as tempura, but can also be pickled, stir-fried or cooked with the noodles. They can also be incorporated into a pesto or sauce. In addition, they are great as a substitute for nori sheets in sushi or as a garnish for special dishes.
