Wasabi is most commonly known as the spicy accompaniment that comes with sushi. It is often seen in paste form, though can be used in a wide variety of dishes. The aforementioned paste is made from the plant’s rhizomes, however the leaves and stems of the wasabi plant are also edible.
Wasabi does have a reputation for being a tricky plant to grow. It can be fairly demanding and has very particular conditions that it thrives in. Unfortunately, any deviation from the consistencies it wants can easily stress the plant. Many growers may choose to grow wasabi in containers in a garden, as it can make it easier to accommodate its every need.
