Horseradish Root Pieces are dried cut pieces of Armoracia rusticana , a pungent, warming root used in culinary and traditional herbal preparations. In the kitchen, dried horseradish adds earthy heat to sauces, pickles, relishes, marinades and vinegar-based tonics. Traditionally, it is prepared during cold-weather routines for clear-feeling breathing, throat and chest comfort, and normal urinary tract comfort. It is important to note that dried horseradish is more mellow and earthy than fresh horseradish, so it is best suited to infusions, vinegars and blended preparations rather than used as a direct fresh substitute.
♡ Why we love it: These root pieces are easy to measure, brew and strain, making them a handy pantry ingredient for warming recipes and simple home preparations. A little goes a long way, especially in vinegars, relishes and cold-weather blends.
