Vegetable

Whole

Whole wasabi is the intact market form—best for storage, ripening and recipes that start from complete pieces. aromatic leaf, seed or root used to season rather than bulk. Select sound specimens, store correctly for the ingredient, and cut only when needed so surfaces stay fresh. add tender leaves late; hard stems and seeds can go in early. Even thickness matters more than elaborate marinades for consistent doneness.
