What it is

Prepared horseradish is a condiment made from the grated root of the horseradish plant. The root is peeled, then chopped or grated and mixed with vinegar, salt, and sometimes other spices or flavorings. This process helps to preserve the root and create its characteristic pungent flavor and aroma.

Why it's used

Prepared horseradish is primarily used to add a spicy, pungent flavor to foods. It is a common ingredient in sauces, dips, and marinades, especially those served with beef or seafood. Manufacturers use it to enhance the taste profile of products like cocktail sauce, Bloody Mary mix, and deviled eggs.

Health notes

Prepared 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 typically found in food. International bodies like JECFA have evaluated horseradish and its components. Evidence does not suggest significant health concerns at typical consumption levels.

Allergen info

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