Wasabi Mustard Micros (1oz)

$5.00

History:

Wasabi's history in Japan spans over a millennium, evolving from ancient medicinal use (antibacterial) to a culinary staple, especially with sushi in the Edo period, valued for flavor and perceived health benefits, though today's common green paste is often horseradish/mustard mix, while real wasabi comes from the rare Wasabia japonica plant, a type of mustard green, prized for its delicate, fleeting heat. 

Flavor Profile:

Wasabi Mustard Microgreens have a bold, spicy, zesty flavor profile with a sharp, quick kick similar to horseradish, blending tangy, slightly bitter mustard notes with fresh, peppery undertones and a clean, fast-fading heat that enhances dishes without lingering

Uses:

Adds a spicy, zesty kick to many dishes, perfect as a garnish or mix-in for salads, sandwiches, wraps, sushi, burgers, tacos, stir-fries, and even blended into smoothies or mixed into eggs for a nutritious, flavorful boost. They offer a bold, horseradish-like heat that enhances Asian-inspired meals, grilled meats, and savory breakfasts. 

  • Salads & Bowls: Toss into green salads or add to poke bowls and rice bowls for spice and texture.

  • Sandwiches & Wraps: Use as a zesty filling in wraps, burgers (especially with sharp cheddar), or chicken salad.

  • Asian Cuisine: Garnish sushi, sashimi, spring rolls, miso, or stir-fries.
