Horseradish is a pungent root vegetable known for its strong, spicy flavour, often used as a condiment. Its white root is grated and mixed with vinegar to make a sharp sauce that complements meats and seafood. Rich in antioxidants and glucosinolates, horseradish also has potential health benefits. Originating from Eastern Europe, it has been cultivated for centuries and remains a staple in traditional and contemporary cuisine.
