Wasabi, a perennial herb in Brassicaceae, is a rare spicy vegetable. Wasabi, also known as wild vegetables, mountain vegetables and snowflake vegetables, is distributed in Chinese mainland, China, Taiwan Province and Japan.

Wasabi is an extremely precious seasoning food in the international market, with high price and great market demand. The growth conditions of wasabi are special, and the places suitable for growing and planting are limited, which leads to the scarcity of wasabi products. Wasabi was first recorded in The Book of Songs. There are many names of wasabi, such as Japanese chives, cold dishes in winter, amaranth in winter, vegetables with slippery intestines, coriander, hollyhock, mallow, Huang Kui, Zhong Kui, horseradish and so on.
