Fresh Wasabi Plant

Fresh Wasabi Plant

If you are looking for a silver lining to a cloudy British summer growing Wasabia japonica is it.

Wasabi loves its summers cloudy and cool so if the weather is dull you can take solace in the fact the wasabi will be thriving. A well-established plant will send large heart-shaped leaves 60cm high and a meter wide, making a striking feature in a shady spot where other plants might struggle to gather enough light. These leaves will die back in winter as all the plant's energy travels down into the rhizomes that will be forming at the base of the stems. These precious rhizomes are swollen stems, not roots, and they hold the vital goodness that will carry the plant through winter and see it re-grow with vigour the following spring.

Wasabi will survive temperatures down to –5ºC, to protect it from those really cold nights some straw or fleece covering the crown of the plant is a good idea.

Patience is a virtue with wasabi and the reward of harvesting and grating your own fresh wasabi paste will be all the sweeter for the two years it can take to yield the famously pungent rhizomes.  Leaves and stems are edible and these can be picked in small numbers throughout spring and summer to spice up a salad whilst you wait for rhizomes to form. In March and April, long stems holding a cluster of delicately scented white flowers will appear, these can be eaten raw or fried in tempura batter if you are out to impress.

Several rhizomes weighing 100g and more will provide you with a bountiful and eye-watering harvest to share with friends over sushi or in any of the delicious and original recipes we have created with an English twist. We think we hold the British record at 377g for a single rhizome if anyone can beat that we would prefer you keep it to yourself and not break our hearts!

Just what I wanted to complete my dipping of my toes into authentic Korean cuisine it has the sharp but bitter taste needed to cleanse the palette in desserts especially after a spicy main. It has a price and must be a considered buy, but in my mind it was worth it.!!
