Ground horseradish is a spice obtained from horseradish, a root with a very intense, spicy, and slightly pungent flavor. This ingredient is commonly used to add a touch of spiciness and freshness to sauces, dressings, meats, fish, and pickles. Its ground texture makes it easy to incorporate into recipes where a characteristic flavor is desired without the fibrous texture of the fresh root.
Horseradish is native to Europe and Western Asia, where it has been used since ancient times as a condiment and natural remedy. Its cultivation has spread to various regions of the world due to its popularity in gastronomy and traditional medicine.
Properties: In addition to its strong flavor, ground horseradish contains sulfur compounds that give it antimicrobial and digestive properties. It is known to stimulate appetite and improve digestion, in addition to providing vitamin C.
In different Hispanic American countries, ground horseradish may be found under names such as "Japanese mustard" (on occasion, although it is not strictly a mustard), "ground strong radish", or simply "ground radish". However, the most commonly used and recognized term is ground horseradish.
