Mustard with horseradish is a flavorful and potent combination that brings together the characteristic and slightly spicy taste of mustard with the strong and energizing kick of horseradish, also known as wasabi in certain variants or as European horseradish. This condiment is commonly used to enhance the flavor of meats, fish, sandwiches, salads, and dressings, providing a vibrant contrast and a mild spiciness that awakens the palate.
The origin of this mixture lies in the fusion of the European tradition of mustard, an ancient condiment made from ground mustard seeds, with horseradish, a root native to Europe and Asia Minor, known for its penetrating and spicy flavor that has been used for centuries in traditional cuisine to add intensity to dishes.
Among its properties, it stands out for its low calorie content and high contribution of sulfur compounds and antioxidants that may help improve digestion and provide anti-inflammatory benefits. Furthermore, this combination acts as a natural stimulant for the respiratory tract due to its strong flavor and intense aroma.
In different regions of Latin America, this ingredient can be found under synonyms such as mustard with horseradish, mustard with wasabi (when a variant of Japanese radish is used), or spicy mustard and horseradish sauce. However, it is most commonly referred to as is, since it is a specific and uncommon mixture in many local cuisines.
