Horseradish, Wasabi and Purple Chrain
Manage episode 346979040 series 3275799
This week we're learning about horseradish and wasabi. These two amazing plants have evolved to what they are today completely independent from each other on opposite sides of the world and today they serve similar purposes while also maintaining their own unique value in their homelands. They both have their own interesting stories and we explore them this week while also explaining some misconceptions.
