Horseradish

Pungent, fiery, and intensely aromatic, horseradish is one of the most distinctive condiment roots in Mediterranean and Eastern European cooking. Freshly grated or prepared, its sharp, sinus-clearing heat comes from allyl isothiocyanate — a volatile compound released when the root is cut or grated that dissipates quickly with heat, making it best used raw or as a finishing ingredient. Rich in glucosinolates, vitamin C, folate, and potassium, horseradish delivers powerful antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory, and detoxifying properties. A bold, functional ingredient that adds unmistakable depth and heat to dressings, sauces, and Mediterranean-inspired dishes.
