Wasabi Blend
In Japanese, wasabi means "hollyhock mountain" — a reference to the morphological similarities between the two plants. True wasabi (Wasabia japonica) is one of the most difficult crops in the world to cultivate, growing only on shaded mountainsides in running water, which is why the vast majority of wasabi served worldwide — including in most Japanese restaurants — is based on horseradish. This blend follows that same approach: 68.8% horseradish powder provides the sharp, clean, nasal heat that defines the wasabi experience, supported by mustard powder for depth and bite. The result is a potent, finely milled powder that delivers the familiar sinus-clearing hit that wasabi is known for.
The powder format makes it versatile and long-lasting. Mixed with soy sauce or a few drops of water, it produces a smooth, bright-green wasabi paste in seconds — the traditional accompaniment to sushi, sashimi, and nigiri. Beyond Japanese cuisine, wasabi heat works well with a surprisingly broad range of ingredients: salmon, tuna, prawns, cod, roasted chicken, avocado, cold soups, and julienned vegetables all pair well. It can also be mixed into mayonnaise, cream cheese, or butter for a condiment with a sharp, aromatic kick.
Producer: Terre Exotique, a French spice house founded in 1998 after its founder discovered Penja pepper on a plantation in Cameroon. The company sources directly from growers worldwide and processes at its facility in France, maintaining close relationships with producers to ensure traceability and quality across its range.
