Q: Is Wasabi high in sodium? Trying to cut down on
the salt. I know Miso is very high and so is Soy Sauce. - Preston.
Real wasabi has less than 1 milligram of sodium per 4oz
serving, which is effectively zero. The
'fake'
wasabi that is served usually instead of the real item however has
around 100mg of sodium per serving, significantly more than the real deal.
If your sushi place has the real item, I would ask for that if you are
really reducing sodium, although 100mg is still not a huge amount, it may
still be more than you are looking for. You are correct about soy sauce and
miso having high sodium contents.
