What it is

Horseradish is a root vegetable in the mustard family, known for its pungent, spicy flavor. It is native to Europe and western Asia but is now grown worldwide. The root is typically grated or ground and mixed with vinegar or other ingredients to create a condiment.

Why it's used

Ground horseradish is primarily used as a flavoring agent to add a sharp, zesty kick to foods. It is commonly found in condiments like horseradish sauce, mustard, ketchup, and barbecue sauce. It also appears in prepared foods such as sandwiches, dips, and cheese spreads.

Health notes

Horseradish is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used as a food ingredient. It is not typically consumed in amounts large enough to cause health concerns. International bodies like JECFA have evaluated horseradish and its preparations, but no specific numeric limits are generally set for its use as a food flavoring. Some compounds in horseradish have been studied for potential health benefits, but more research is needed.

Allergen info

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