About Japanese Wasabi

(Raphanus sativus). The unmistakably pungent flavor of wasabi can clear the sinuses and invigorate the palate. The energizing flavor found in plants like true wasabi and horseradish root can also be found in the Japanese Wasabi radish. This Daikon type radish packs a wallop of tingling wasabi heat, making it a much easier-to-grow substitute for the famously finicky true wasabi root. If grown in the fall/winter, the flavor tends to be mild and sweet, but when grown in the spring/summer season it develops full, spicy heat! We love to add the peppery flavor to everything, from grated atop stir fries and sandwiches to sliced paper thin to enhance a salad or your favorite Asian recipe. 40-50 days to maturity Full sun Sprouts in 3-6 days Ideal Temperature: 50-75 F Seed Depth: 1/4" Plant Spacing: 4" Frost Hardy: Yes
