Wasabi Flowers
Are wasabi flowers edible?
Most people expect only the wasabi root - also called wasabi rhizomes, when in fact they are stems - to be edible. However, the crunchy leaf stems, fresh leaves and these beautiful wasabi flowers all contain a delicious amount of mild wasabi flavour.
Can you grow wasabi flowers at home?
Absolutely! By growing a wasabi plant at home, you can enjoy all the parts of this remarkable plant - including fresh wasabi flowers - in addition to making fresh wasabi paste. Wasabi grows well in shady spots away from direct sunlight - why not give it a try? This slow-growing plant takes around 18 months to mature, so growing your own fresh wasabi products is subject to seasonal availability.
