Just harvested our first batch of horseradish! We got about a dozen main roots and a lot of sets (smaller roots) for planting more of these spicy roots next year. Even better? It’s ALL certified organic.
Freshly grated horseradish root contains more vitamin C than most common fruit, including oranges. It not only has about 4x the vitamin C, but also 3x the iron. This wonder root is also rich in calcium, thiamine, potassium, magnesium, trace minerals, and proteins, but desirably low in phosphorus and sodium.
If you haven’t tried it yet, you might really enjoy horseradish in some favorite dishes. It can be transformed into a pungent condiment used with meats and fish, and added to spice up seafood cocktail and ketchup. It’s also wonderful in fire cider and a popular home remedy for colds and sore throats. Give it a whirl!
