Can I Make Wasabi Peas Less Spicy?

Absolutely, The beauty of homemade wasabi peas is you control the heat. Start with half the wasabi powder and taste the paste before coating the peas. If it's still too much, add a teaspoon of sugar or honey to balance the heat. My sister loves them with just 1 tablespoon wasabi powder - she calls them "wasabi-light peas"

Are Wasabi Peas Healthy?

Surprisingly yes, Unlike most snack foods, these pack a solid 5g protein and 4g fiber per serving. They're low in fat (just 3g) and have no cholesterol. The wasabi itself may even have some anti-inflammatory benefits - though let's be real, we mainly eat them because they're deliciously addictive For more information on the potential health benefits of spices like wasabi, you can check out reputable sources discussing isothiocyanates in cruciferous vegetables.

Can I use frozen peas?

Nope - they'll turn to mush Only dried green peas work for that perfect crunch. How long do they last? About a week in an airtight container - if you can resist eating them all at once.
