Product Name: Wasabi Powder
Packaging: 2.2LB (approx. 1kg) per bag
Product Form: Dry powder, easy to store and prepare
Product Description:
Wasabi powder is an essential seasoning in Japanese cuisine. Its signature flavor comes from isothiocyanates, which provide a sharp, pungent heat. The product is typically a blend of horseradish and mustard, designed to replicate the unique flavor of true wasabi (Wasabia japonica). Genuine wasabi is extremely rare and expensive because it requires 2 years to mature and grows only in clean, flowing cold streams. Therefore, commercial wasabi powder primarily uses horseradish combined with mustard to achieve a similar pungent profile.
Key Ingredients:
This product is typically made from the following natural ingredients:
Horseradish – Provides the primary pungent heat.
Mustard – Provides binding and a flavor base.
Other Ingredients – Some commercial formulas add corn starch, citric acid, vitamin C, and food coloring to maintain powder stability and appearance.
Features & Usage:
Rich Flavor, Versatile Use – Delivers authentic pungent heat, perfect for sushi and sashimi, as well as for making wasabi mayonnaise, salad dressings, marinades, and dips.
Food Service Bulk Size – Each 2.2LB bag is designed for professional kitchens, sushi bars, and food processing applications.
Easy to Use & Store – The powder form allows for long-term storage; simply mix with water to restore fresh flavor – a convenient alternative to fresh wasabi.
Preparation Method:
Place the desired amount of wasabi powder in a small bowl.
Gradually add an equal amount of warm water (not boiling), stirring continuously until a thick paste forms.
Let the paste rest for about 10-15 minutes. This “resting” period allows the pungent flavor to fully develop for a smoother, more rounded taste.
Storage: Store in a cool, dry, dark place. Seal the bag tightly after each use to prevent moisture absorption and flavor loss.
Note: Ingredients may include horseradish, mustard, and food additives. Individuals with allergies should use with caution. Use promptly after opening for best flavor.
