Questions about wasabi?

Question

1.) Do you like Wasabi? I love it. Particularly with sushi but also with other stuff. I like the burning feeling it gives me in my nose LOL (maybe I'm a m*******t XD)

2.) I heard it can help with bacteria (like to kill anything bad that might be in your body)--for example, that may come from raw sushi. Is that true?

3.) How do you know when you've been served REAL wasabi? I hear most times you are served the fake one which is made from powder or something. I wouldn't know how to tell the difference I guess.

Answer 1

!) Love it~

As long as I don't eat too much... When I do I kinda start almost tearing xD

2) Yeah. Wasabi is really good when your eating sushi ^^ It's true (a sushi chef told me)

3) Whoa... There's fake wasabi o_o

Answer 2

I use Wasabi quite often when i cook. I don't know about the bacteria aspect. You can only know if it's true if you grow and harvest it yourself...

Answer 3

yayayayaya! I love wasabi! the burning sensation you get when you eat it is awesome!

Well, i don't know too much about that but my brother says it does. (that's how he got me too eat it the first time!) ^ ^

and you can only tell if you grow it, or by its color/aroma. its supposed to me a middle green color, and is supposed too smell SPICY!! ^ ^ v

Answer 4

Most commercial wasabi is "horseradish" based that's why it gives the burning sensation. The real stuff is grated from the 'root" and like most FRESH products your CAN taste the difference.
