Wasabi Radish

This is not "real" wasabi root, like used in Japanese cuisine. That root can take two years to grow. This is Japanese Wasabi Radish.

The promise was that this green radish would have much of the heat of that legendary product (though the legendary culinary paste is often actually made with horse radish).

Some of it has been very hot, but radish hot. Some of it has been mild, like a mild radish. It's a little smaller than a tennis ball in this picture.

Thanks for the review. This may help someone make a decision.

This one was grown under better conditions. I've only had a small slice so far, and it was definitely hot. I was hoping that the cooked leaves would retain some of the heat, but, alas, it was not so. Either they don't have the heat element or cooking fried it out.
