Description

Horseradish cream is a creamy and spicy condiment made from grated horseradish root, mixed with ingredients such as cream, mayonnaise, or yogurt to soften its intense flavor. This sauce is primarily used to add a fresh and spicy touch to meat dishes, fish, sandwiches, and salads.

Horseradish is native to Europe and Western Asia, and its use has spread widely in European cuisine, especially in Germany, Poland, and Russia, where it is valued for its strong and aromatic flavor. Horseradish cream is a popular way to incorporate this flavor in a milder and creamier form.

Among its properties, its content of sulfur compounds stands out, which give it its characteristic spicy flavor and enhance certain digestive and detoxifying functions. It also provides vitamin C and antioxidants, although in moderate amounts since it is consumed in small portions.

In different Spanish-speaking countries in the Americas, it may be known by various names or synonyms depending on the region, such as horseradish mayonnaise, horseradish sauce, or simply horseradish cream. It is not very common in traditional Latin American cuisine, but it is increasingly appearing in modern recipes and culinary fusions.

In summary, horseradish cream is a versatile ingredient for adding freshness and moderate spiciness, ideal for complementing grilled meats, sausages, smoked fish, and for giving a special touch to dressings and dips.
