Welcome to Pacific Coast Wasabi Ltd
The only commercial grower of Wasabi (Wasabia japonica) in North America.
On our seven co-operative Wasabi farms located in coastal
British Columbia and New Jersey we grow both semi-aquatic wasabi (sawa) and
field grown wasabi (oka) for the culinary, nutraceutical and natural
product markets.
Our commitment is to cultivate only the highest quality fresh Wasabi. In this way we can offer
a premium product with maximum heat, flavour and natural therapeutic efficacies.
We supply both fresh premium sawa-wasabi rhizomes and freeze-dried powder made
from certified USDA organic oka-wasabi. Over-night shipping is available
throughout North America.
Scientific research has shown that Wasabi produces a suite
of biomedically active molecules called isothiocyanates (ITCs) which are powerful
nutraceuticals. These compounds, particularly the long chain methyl isothiocyanate
(6MITC), are most abundant in authentic Wasabi. It is these ITCs that are responsible
for the flavour and heat of real Wasabi as well as the unique health benefits
including: anti-oxidant, anti-cancer, antibiotic, anti-inflammatory and anti-coagulant.
In addition, other natural compounds from Wasabi have been demonstrated to
be effective in bone calcification.
