horseradish root
Horseradish root is the long, tapered root of the horseradish plant (Armoracia rusticana), a hardy perennial belonging to the Brassicaceae family, which includes mustard, wasabi, broccoli, and cabbage. It is best known for its strong, pungent flavor, which is released when the root is grated or ground due to the break down of a compound called sinigrin. This root is commonly used as a condiment or spice in culinary practices worldwide, particularly in Western and Eastern European cuisines. The intact horseradish root has hardly any aroma. When cut or grated, however, enzymes from the plant cells break down sinigrin to produce allyl isothiocyanate (mustard oil), which irritates the mucous membranes of the sinuses and eyes.
