Wasabi Grown In Oregon, USA
We grow two wasabi varieties: Mazuma and Daruma.
A 249g Mazuma Rhizome on harvest day.
The same Rhizome after arriving in Germany; two days later: we are asked quite often about the quality of the product after harvest an shipping. This photo shows how well the rhizomes travel. They are quite hardy. In fact, when presenting taste demonstrations, we often use 2-month old rhizomes which taste identical to the day they were harvested.
Wasabi Rhizomes: Daruma Variety; 210g. This is only one year and 3 weeks old. The secret to our growth and quality is the pure, dedicated coastal mountain stream water we use.
This photo indicates the size ranges: XL 125g-320g (200g shown) L 90-124g; M 60-89g; S 40-59g; SuperSmall and offshoots 25-39g.
The trophy wasabi photo: The plants are light-phobic. Thus the shadecloth on top of the greenhouse. It's not sunny very often on the farm. It's not a rainforest because of the sunshine!
Our wasabi is grown in greenhouses. This was taken in late winter when the plants are in flower.
We found this little salamander on one of the plants. We could have named the farm "Salamander Eyes" after seeing this:
