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.
Meats & Fish: Top grilled steak, salmon, scallops, or lamb.
Breakfast: Mix into omelets, scrambled eggs, or serve on a bagel with cream cheese.
Soups & Stews: Garnish soups, stews, or add to savory tarts.
Nutrition:
Wasabi Mustard Microgreens are nutrient-dense, offering high levels of vitamins (A, C, E, K, B-complex), minerals (calcium, iron, potassium, magnesium, phosphorus), fiber, and antioxidants, with a potent spicy kick from allyl isothiocyanates; they provide significant immune support, aid digestion, and may offer antibacterial benefits, often containing more nutrients than mature plants.

Minerals: Good sources of Calcium, Iron, Magnesium, Potassium, Phosphorus, Manganese, and Copper.
