What is Horseradish?
Horseradish is a large root that is used as a spice. The woody root is in the same botanical family as mustard and broccoli. Horseradish can grow over three feet in length and is long and round, with a medium width, white body. Horseradish is grated and used fresh, or dried and turned into wasabi powder. There are multiple ways of using this hot and peppery root, whose heat is experienced not on the tongue but in the sinuses. Horseradish can be commonly found in Asian, Jewish and Eastern European foods.
