Another name for Wasabi is Japanese horseradish, Wasabi is actually the source of the hot, pungent seasoning popularly served with sushi, and it is also used to season nuts and other savory snacks. Wasabi has strong taste and the heat are well-loved by most people who like spicy flavors.
Wasabi plants actually prefers complete shade, which makes it ideal for gardens that don’t get a lot of sun. However Wasabi is a finicky plant, and most serious growers more often turn to greenhouse culture to grow the plant. The Wasabi plants are usually planted from potted nursery starts in the early spring. The rhizomatous stalk will not be ready for harvest until the following year.
