wasabi

I am thinking about trying Wahabis flavored edemame for crunch snack but wondering what does Wahabis taste like what is is similar in taste like to. I hope it's not like teriyucky lol.

There is no real wasabi in America, it just horseradish dyed green.

I know - so depressing!

hot ! like horseradish ......they make wasabi peas.......jus****ch the calories. Very easy to overeat this snack !

It is a very hot type of horseradish.  Might be delicious with edemame.  I craved very hot spicy things right after surgery.  Only had edemame once and it caused me terrible gas.

wasabi is Japanese horseradish.  Horseradish is a hot (clearing out your sinus kind of hot).  The nice thing about wasabi as opposed to jalepeno hot is that wasabi and horseradish are hot in your mouth for a moment and then the heat dissipates.  Conversely, when you eat chili/jalapeno hot, it lingers on your tongue and in your mouth for a long time.  Love wasabi!  Clears you sinus, gives your mouth that spice and reminder you've eaten something.  If you like spice and foods with a kick, go for it!

I dislike spicy food, but I LOVE wasabi! I don't care if it's just green colored horseradish here in the US, since I love horseradish on its own too. (Did you know there's a horseradish festival in Illinois every year? I plan to go this year!)

Anyway, as has been mentioned above, wasabi will give you a big ole kick, and then it goes away, unlike the heat from peppers. If you have sinus problems, wasabi will help you out there! The wasabi peas are good; I found wasabi chick peas in a local store and I like them even better.

I too love wasabi in fact wasabi peas was a problem over indulgence food for me. I recently tried roasted chic peas and was thinking of doing them next time with wasabi.

okay, just the other day i had some nuts and raisins and stuff in a little cup and just for kicks i tossed in several dried wasabi peas.  I was surfing the net and munching on my one ounce little measured "trail mix" and every now and then, I would pick up one and my voice would go up about 6 octaves higher..."ooooh! there's a wasabi pea!"   good stuff.
