Horseradish is a pungent root vegetable from the Brassicaceae family, native to Eastern Europe and Western Asia. Known for its sharp, spicy flavor, it’s commonly used as a condiment in cuisines worldwide, often paired with meats, seafood, and vegetables. Nutritionally, horseradish is low in calories and fat but rich in antioxidants and essential nutrients like Vitamin C, potassium, and calcium. Its compounds, such as glucosinolates, contribute to its renowned sinus-clearing and antimicrobial properties. Studies suggest it may support digestion and boost the immune system. However, its strong flavor and natural oils can irritate the stomach or exacerbate acid reflux in some individuals if consumed in large quantities. Typically enjoyed fresh, grated, or as part of sauces, horseradish provides a zesty kick while offering potential health benefits, making it a flavorful addition to balanced diets when eaten in moderation.
