Meerrettich, known as horseradish in English, is a pungent root vegetable originating from Eastern Europe, widely used for its sharp, tangy flavor. Rich in nutrients like vitamin C, potassium, and dietary fiber, it is often incorporated into sauces, spreads, and condiments across German, Austrian, and Eastern European cuisines. Meerrettich is low in calories and contains powerful antioxidants and natural compounds, like glucosinolates, which may have anti-inflammatory and immune-boosting properties. Its intense flavor comes from isothiocyanates, released when the root is grated or crushed. While it offers numerous health benefits, its potency can cause sinus discomfort if consumed excessively, and individuals with sensitive stomachs should moderate their intake. Whether used as a zesty accent for roasted meats or a spicy kick in sauces, Meerrettich provides both flavor and a nutritional boost to any dish.
