Wasabi
Wasabi Article. Wasabi (Wasabia japonica (Miq.) Matsum), a member of the Brassicaceae or mustard family, is a staple condiment in Japanese cuisine. Because the market demand for wasabi roots is so strong, our wasabi research is focusing on the potential for producing this crop in southwestern Washington for domestic sales and export to Asian markets.
