Health Benefits of Horseradish
Horseradish is a spicy bite. It is most commonly used as a seasoning both on its own and as an ingredient in sauces and dressings. Prepared horseradish is readily available in the supermarket but you can also make it yourself. You just need to follow a few steps so that you don't have to run out of the kitchen suddenly because of the pungent smell.
Prepared horseradish is a seasoning made from the large white root of the horseradish plant which is in the same family as mustard and wasabi; it is a cousin of broccoli cauliflower and Brussels sprouts. The leaves are also edible. It can be grown in your garden as a perennial in hardiness zones 2 through 9. The root is harvested for use as culinary horseradish and the shoots are replanted for the following year's harvest. The grated root can be used fresh or can be dried or powdered. You will often add horseradish to seasonings such as mustard or mayonnaise to give them an extra crunch. Horseradish sauce can simply be grated horseradish in vinegar or it can be a creamy version.
Horseradish is native to Russia and Hungary and has been cultivated throughout history. It is mentioned in Greek mythology Pliny's "Natural History" and Shakespeare.
