Using Wasabi

If you are blessed to be in an area where there are ethnic foods, wasabi is a good Japanese horseradish to buy.

• It usually is sold on the top shelf in groceries because it comes in a little green box. You want to buy the kind in a tube. It is the best.

• It works in small amounts. Add it to mayo for an extra zip. I wouldn't add more than 1/4 tsp to a tablespoon of mayo.

• Leave off the lid under a glass jar with meat and it will keep the meat from spoiling. It is very high in vitamin C and scientists in Japan think wasabi might be good on surface skin infections.

• But it works great on sinus problems also. It will hurt like the dickens, but it will open up your sinuses immediately. The pain goes straight to your head for 2-3 seconds but you will be able to breathe through your nose!

• The Yellow Japanese Mustard called Karashi will work in a similar way, but it isn't as strong.
