What's the difference between real and fake wasabi? Which one is better?
Wasabi is a plant that has various phytonutrients (healthy substances found in plants). It is usually added to foods as a spice. Its “hot” taste is similar to hot mustard or horseradish rather than being like chili peppers.
Benefits

Where to get it
True wasabi is very hard to grow and is very expensive. Most wasabi available unfortunately is fake. You can get it at a health food store or order it online, but there is no guarantee that it would be true, original wasabi.
