A researcher behind a study of wasabi's effect on cognition says he knew the fiery condiment had health benefits, but "the dramatic change" in memory was a surprise.
It’s sub $15 (I usually pay around $12 for a small pack I think) for small rhizomes near me. $100 a pound but you don’t need a pound. These rhizomes typically last me about two weeks and it’s easy to grate it right before use. With less frequent use and more careful storage, you could probably get a lot of mileage out of even a single small rhizome.
The real expense comes from not having a store with it nearby, where I think you’d have to buy large amounts in order to get it shipped at all. The wasabi itself is pretty affordable otherwise. If availability wasn’t so spotty, everyone could always have some ready-to-grate wasabi in the fridge
