Our first January produce item that may not be used very frequently in the kitchen. Horseradish is a root vegetable known for its fragrant odor and taste. It belongs to the cruciferous family just like mustard, wasabi, cabbage, broccoli, and kale. Horseradish has many health benefits, as listed in the chart, including antibacterial and anticancer effects. Horseradish is low in calories, and “contains glucosinolates and isothiocyanates, which may protect against cancer, fight bacterial and fungal infections, and improve breathing issues.” Horseradish is commonly used as a condiment, but also can be found in supplements and teas.
