Lactose in Wasabi

Is there Lactose in Wasabi?

The short answer to this question is no, BUT and this is a big BUT.

The problem arises in the use of the word, WASABI.

Since the end of World War 2, the entire world has been brainwashed into thinking that the Green Wasabi that accompanies your sushi and other Japanese meals is a plant.

The reality is that True Wasabi is a plant named Wasabia japonica, but the stuff you get with your sushi is 99.9% of the time a coloured mix of stuff that doesn’t contain any Wasabia japonica at all.

Have a look here to see what you are actually eating as Wasabi.

The Wasabi you can buy in the stores is no better. Here is a review that shows what you are getting for your money.

How do you know if you are getting True Wasabi?

Well, you have to look at the ingredients list on the item you are purchasing.

If it has an ingredient list that contains more than one ingredient, and the ingredient is not Wasabia japonica – then you are not getting what you are paying for.

Here is a product that has been around since the early 1990’s and contains 100% Pure Wasabia japonica rhizome – not just the whole plant (like everyone else), but just the root which contains the highest amount of bang for your buck.
