Wasabi

A member of the Brassica family, rich in glucosinolates and isothiocyanates (ITCs). Prized for its authentic flavour, shelf-life extension properties, and emerging health benefits.

Key Benefits

BeoFunctional

Real wasabi delivers a complex, nuanced heat quite different from horseradish-based imitations. Natural antimicrobial properties help extend shelf life of fresh food products.

02
