What’s the largest amount of wasabi you’ve eaten in one bite?😜

When this fiery root is grated, an organic compound called sinigrin reacts with an enzyme, creating the compound responsible for its famous pungency.😅

The finer the wasabi gets, the more pungent it becomes.

Where did the pungency hit first? Your nose?😝👃👂
