Brooke–I tried the Wasabi peanuts over the weekend, and they’re very good. The first one had absolutely no kick at all, but the next five or six seemed to have a cumulative effect. Potent, for sure!

I reccommend having a tissue or two handy, and maybe keeping a supply of these babies around for for “head colds” and sinus problems.

d.o.l - I’ve seen the wasabi peas at the Ashton Place Kroger in the ethnic foods aisle. And I’m fairly certain that I’ve seen wasabi nuts on the other end of the store where the chips and sodas reside.

I’m sure the International Grocery in Kanawha City has some variety of such a snack. The Asian market in South Charleston’s “Mound District” carries them, as well.

I have tried the wasabi peas but not the peanuts. What I like about them is that you will have a few and they will be quite mild and then suddenly one will pop in your mouth that just about knocks you out….but you just never know which one it will be.

I like the peas better.

Can you get these anywhere in charleston other than the capitol market?

Hey Mike… you try the peanuts, I’ll try the almonds, and we’ll compare notes in the near future.

Jennifer: The wasabi peas are great, only not as crunchy or spicy as the peanuts. For more info on commercially produced wasabi, click on the link in the first paragraph. Chances are we’ve never experienced actual wasabi in our neck of the woods.

I haven’t tried the peanuts (I will, though), but I can attest to the tastiness of Blue Diamond brand Wasabi Almonds. I reccommend them.

I favor the wasabi peas myself! Love the hot stuff– did you know that most commercially provided wasabi actually is mostly horseradish with a tad of the authentic root blended in?

Oh man, Drew… that would be nasty. Probably.
