About Creamy horseradish

Creamy horseradish is a tangy, pungent condiment made by combining grated horseradish root with cream or mayonnaise. Horseradish itself originates from Eastern Europe and has been a traditional ingredient in Slavic, German, and British cuisines for centuries. While rich in flavor, creamy horseradish is generally low in calories (around 20 calories per tablespoon) and provides small amounts of potassium, calcium, and dietary fiber. It also contains glucosinolates—compounds responsible for its spicy flavor—that have potential health-promoting properties.

Health Benefits

• Supports immune health due to the presence of glucosinolates, which have antioxidant and antimicrobial properties.
• Promotes digestion as horseradish stimulates gastric secretions and is high in dietary fiber.
• Contains small amounts of calcium (about 10 mg per tablespoon), which is essential for bone health.

Dietary Considerations

Allergens: Contains dairy (if using cream), eggs (if using mayonnaise)

Suitable for: Omnivorous diet, lacto-ovo vegetarian diet (if prepared accordingly)

Not suitable for: Vegan diet, dairy-free diet, egg allergy diet

Selection and Storage

Store creamy horseradish in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 weeks to maintain freshness. Stir thoroughly before each use to ensure uniform texture.
