Horseradish (Armoracia rusticana, syn. Cochlearia armoracia) is a perennial plant of the Brassicaceae family, which includes mustard, wasabi, and cabbages. The plant is probably native to southeastern Europe and western Asia, but is popular around the world today. It grows up to 1.5 metres (five feet) tall and is mainly cultivated for its large white, tapered root.The horseradish root itself has hardly any aroma. When cut or grated, however, enzymes from the damaged plant cells break down sinigrin (a glucosinolate) to produce allyl isothiocyanate (mustard oil), which irritates the sinuses and eyes. Once grated, if not used immediately or mixed in vinegar, the root darkens and loses its pungency and becomes unpleasantly bitter when exposed to air and heat.

My family loves Eastern Max Buffet. First of all is very clean, second is kids friendly. Interior design makes you feel like you in Las Vegas, and food is good too. We had king crab, variety of shrimp, oysters, steamed clams, salads. Prime Rib was the best with horseradish and wine sauce. After visiting other similar restaurants in town

Salmon Steaks, Chili Horseradish, Green Bean Alamandine, Waldorf Salad, Apple Pear Compote, Caribbean Fish, Sweet-and-Sour Spinach Salad, Roast In Apricot Mushroom Sauce, Jerusalem Kugel, Strawberry Rhubarb...this is just a sample of the recipes you can find in this wonderful search engine.

These crispy shrimp are rolled in a coconut beer batter before frying. For dipping sauce, I use orange marmalade, mustard and horseradish mixed to taste.

Ever wonder how long you can keep that bottle of horseradish sauce before it kills you?
