Wasabia japonica – Nature’s Gift
Numerous studies have demonstrated that
Wasabia japonica contains a group of compounds called isothiocyanates and these compounds are very good for human health. Wasabi has been shown (Ina
et al. 1990, Sakura
et al. 1993) to possess more than twenty different isothiocyanates. The most medically important of the isothiocyanates is 6-methylsulfinyl hexyl isothiocyanate (6MSITC) which is found only in
Wasabia japonica.
