Description
Horseradish is a plant with a pungent root that is used as a spice or condiment. The root is grated or ground to make a spicy and flavorful paste that is commonly used as a topping for meats, sandwiches, and salads. Horseradish is also used as an ingredient in many sauces and dips, such as cocktail sauce and aioli. It is known for its strong, distinctive flavor and aroma, which is caused by the presence of compounds called isothiocyanates. Horseradish is a low-calorie, nutrient-dense food that is a good source of vitamins C and B6, as well as dietary fiber, potassium, and calcium.
