purewasabi, 55g

New from Coppersfolly - purewasabi!  This is the real deal!  Containing locally-grown fresh wasabi, pressed grape seed oil, lemon juice, and less than 1% citric acid (to attain a suitable pH level).
 
Fresh wasabi is grown in streams -  some in soil (spray-free) - and can be difficult to grow, preferring cold winters to hot summers and taking eighteen months to 2 years to mature before harvest. 
 
By contrast, the tube of so-called, ‘Wasabi Japanese Horseradish’, commonly found in supermarkets contains horseradish, lactose, sorbitol, corn oil, salt, water, artificial flavour, xanthan gum, turmeric, artificial colour (FD & C Yellow#5, FD & C Blue#1). Not a shred of wasabi at all!
 
How to use:
 
Accompaniment for all meats and fish, hot or cold
Add to sauces or mayonnaise for an added zing
On antipasto platters with salamis, crackers and cheese
In sandwiches like a mustard
With hot chips
Mousetraps! Toast, pure wasabi, ham, tomato and cheese (or whatever you prefer, in the griller until the cheese has melted and toasted slightly
On barbecues
Mixed with butter and melted on new potatoes
With sushi and other Japanese foods
Mix with a flavour-free oil to thin the wasabi paste and then drizzle it over a salad
Make a mix of your favourite herbs and spices along with wasabi and baste your favourite fish (salmon is divine) as it comes out of the oven before serving.
Mix a little with ice cream (especially homemade ice cream) and serve as a sorbet.
