Naturally, this plant grows in swampy areas in Japan. In Japan, almost all parts of the wasabi plant are eaten, including these special flowers. These fresh wasabi flowers are grown with care in\u00a0<strong>our own greenhouses in the Netherlands<\/strong>. The small, cruciform white flowers bloom from fall into early summer and grow on delicate stems with both open flowers and closed buds. The flowers are a wonderful example of the versatility and quality the wasabi plant has to offer.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"color: #3b5249\"><strong>Flavor Profile<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000\">The flavor is slightly sweet with a delicate, fresh sharpness that quickly wears off and gives way to a mild aftertaste. This makes them perfect for those who want to experience wasabi flavor in a milder, more subtle form than the familiar rhizome (the \u2018rhizome\u2019 from which wasabi paste is made).\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"color: #3b5249\"><strong>Application<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000\">Wasabi flowers are very versatile. You can eat them raw and are wonderful as a decorative and flavorful garnish on sushi, salads or even desserts. In addition, you can, for example, blanch them briefly (about 20 seconds), stir-fry them briefly or deep-fry them as tempura for a surprising effect. Because of their special appearance and taste, these flowers are a real eye-catcher and flavor enhancer, both in Japanese cuisine and beyond.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000\">For more inspiration, take a look at Robin's blog: <a style=\"color: #000000\" href=\"https:\/\/www.aziatische-ingredienten.nl\/wasabi-bloemen\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">asian-ingredients.com<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p><span style=\"color: #000000\">Delicate, fresh wasabi flowers from the wasabi plant.
