A member of the mustard family, horseradish is known for its hot and pungent flavor. The root is typically prepared as a condiment and served alongside proteins, stews, or roasted vegetables. Native to southern Russia and eastern Ukraine, this herbaceous perennial is commonly cultivated. Horseradish has leaves that grow in clumps and a large, fleshy taproot that is white to tan in color and can reach lengths of up to a foot or more.
Horseradish has a history of use in traditional European herbal practices dating back hundreds of years to the ancient Greeks. Considered energetically hot, horseradish root was traditionally used as a panacea from wintertime ailments to digestive system support. Records of horseradish’s culinary uses as a condiment can be traced back to the 1600s.
