Fresh Horseradish

Fresh horseradish is an aromatic root vegetable known for its strong, pungent flavor and potent nasal-clearing power. Often used as a staple in traditional European cuisine, horseradish adds a sharp, spicy kick to a variety of dishes. From adding a flavorful twist to mashed potatoes, fresh horseradish can also be used to make your own fiery horseradish sauce, an essential condiment for roast beef. Though care should be taken when preparing it, as the released odor can be strong, the unique flavor it imparts is certainly worth it.
