Horseradish is a root vegetable native to Russia or Hungary. It is a member of the mustard family which includes kale, cauliflower, and Brussel sprouts. Horseradish is most widely used as a condiment, both by itself and as an ingredient in sauces and dressings. The “hotness” from horseradish comes from isothiocyanate, a volatile compound that, when oxidized by air and saliva, generates the “heat” that some people claim clears out their sinuses. The bite and aroma of the horseradish root are almost absent until it is grated or ground. During this process, as the root cells are crushed, isothiocyanates are released. Vinegar stops this reaction and stabilizes the flavor. For milder horseradish, vinegar is added immediately.
