Foods that start with W
Read this blog till the end to get familiar with all the foods that start with W.
1. Wasabi
Wasabi is used as a seasoning that has a pungent flavor, a bit like horseradish. The powder is diluted with water and stirred to a homogeneous consistency of a viscous paste. It is added to dishes in small quantities, placing it on the same plate as the main course.
The sauce has a positive effect on the condition of the teeth, improves blood circulation, and prevents the formation of vascular blood clots.

Indian sweets made from chickpea flour, fried in a pan with ghee with the addition of coconut, nuts, and spices. Spicy Laddu balls made from chickpea flour are incredibly tasty and very similar to delicate shortbread cookies that disintegrate in the mouth from a light bite with a bright nutty taste and aroma.
4. White Chocolate
White chocolate differs from traditional dark chocolate in that cocoa powder is not used at all in its production. This is precisely the answer to the question of why white chocolate is white (or, more precisely, ivory with a slight yellowish tint). It is this shade that high-quality white chocolate should have, without extraneous inclusions and impurities.
