Most of the Wasabi powder you buy in the shops and over the
Internet is no more than European horseradish with food colouring
added.
So what, I hear you ask. Well – most of the FDA approved food
colours are now being regarded as carcinogens, and a number of food
manufacturers are now phasing them out of their product lines.
Enjoying sushi and raw fish is all about freshness and only putting
into your body what is good for it. This is why you need to ensure
that your wasabi states on the packaging “100% Pure Wasabia
japonica”. You can rest assured that if this isn’t stated then it
isn’t the real stuff.
The New Zealand Wasabi product is 100% Pure Wasabia japonica – they guarantee it.
They do not use any fillers or colouring with their Namida® 100% Pure
Wasabia japonica. Their Wasabia japonica plants are grown in running
water, freeze dried and stored carefully to ensure that you get the
best,

For those of you who have never seen a wasabi rhizome. I have included a picture below.
Please note that this picture is copyright of New Zealand Wasabi Limited. Please respect that.
The correct name of the plant is Wasabia japonica. These are a member of the brassica family and take up to 3 years to grow. The ones from New Zealand Wasabi Limited are grown in running water and are therefore Sawa Wasabi. These have been shown to have higher levels of cancer killing ingredients than the more common ground grown wasabi (or horseradish).
For those of you on a wholefood diet, then you can get all the benefits that the wasabi active ingredients give you (see http://www.wasabi.co.nz/product_benefits.html) by consuming these fresh wasabi rhizomes.
if you want to know more about getting some of these New Zealand Wasabi rhizomes then go to their website and ask for more information.
