With its strong, delightful flavor, this easy-to-grow vegetable is a must-have for any culinary enthusiast. The roots of this plant can be grated and used to enhance the flavors of roast beef or fish dishes, adding a delightful zing to your meals.
Best suited for full sun or partial shade, this fully hardy plant can thrive in any type of soil. Known for its rapid growth rate, it requires minimal effort to cultivate. However, caution must be exercised when handling the horseradish as its pungent fumes may cause eye irritation. On the bright side, it doubles as a natural sinus clearer!
For optimal results, it is recommended to plant this Horseradish Plant in early spring, ensuring each plug is placed in a 15cm deep hole. To prevent its invasive tendencies, it is advisable to lift and store all plants after the first frost in October. By storing the roots in sand, you can have a ready supply for the kitchen while replanting the smaller ones for future growth in the following spring.
