Wasabi Cress

Wasabi Cress is a spicy, flavorful living microgreen that delivers an intense burst of heat reminiscent of horseradish, mustard, and authentic wasabi. Their flavor starts with a mild tingle before intensifying into that signature wasabi sensation, delivering a powerful heat that quickly fades, leaving a fresh, clean palate. Their bright green, heart-shaped leaves add to their visual appeal. With their spicy flavor profile, Wasabi Cress enhances dishes with an exciting kick, making it a versatile ingredient for chefs and home cooks alike.

Wasabi Cress’s bold flavor makes it a standout ingredient for a variety of culinary applications. They pair exceptionally well with seafood, elevating dishes like sushi, sashimi, grilled fish, and oysters with their distinctive wasabi heat. Their spicy notes also complement red meats, cutting through the richness of steak, lamb, or duck.

For plant-based dishes, Wasabi Cress adds a peppery bite to fresh salads, grain bowls, and avocado toast. Their sharp mustard-like heat enhances sandwiches, wraps, and burgers, creating an extra layer of depth and intensity. They also work beautifully in creamy dishes. Try blending them into aioli, butter, or dressings for a dynamic contrast that balances richness with spice.

Bartenders and mixologists use Wasabi Cress to infuse cocktails with a unique fiery twist, making them a creative garnish for Bloody Marys or wasabi-infused martinis.

Wasabi Cress is a powerhouse of essential nutrients. Rich in calcium, magnesium, and vitamin K, it plays a key role in supporting bone strength and density. Vitamin K also contributes to proper blood clotting and heart health, ensuring your body functions smoothly. Wasabi Cress is a natural source of folate (vitamin B9), a vital nutrient for DNA repair, cell regeneration, and the production of red blood cells.

Beyond its vitamins and minerals, Wasabi Cress possesses natural antimicrobial properties that may help fight harmful bacteria and promote a healthy digestive system. These protective qualities could also reduce the likelihood of foodborne illnesses. Research indicates that certain compounds found in wasabi plants may contribute to bone metabolism, potentially aiding in the prevention of osteoporosis, though more studies are required to confirm these effects.
