What it is

Fresh horseradish is a root vegetable in the Brassicaceae family, related to mustard and wasabi. It is a perennial plant native to Europe and Western Asia. The root is harvested and typically grated or ground to release its pungent flavor and aroma.

Why it's used

Horseradish is primarily used as a condiment to add a sharp, spicy flavor to foods. It is often found in sauces, marinades, and as a relish, particularly with beef and seafood. Manufacturers use it for its distinct taste profile.

Health notes

Fresh horseradish is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use as a food ingredient. It is not typically associated with adverse health effects when consumed in amounts found in food. International bodies like JECFA have evaluated horseradish and its extracts. Evidence regarding specific health benefits or risks at typical consumption levels is limited and not a focus of major regulatory reviews.

Allergen info

Horseradish is not one of the nine FDA major allergens. It does not contain gluten.
