Summary

Horseradish is a root vegetable used primarily as a spice or condiment due to its pungent flavor and aroma. When grated or crushed, enzymes in the plant cells convert sinigrin, a glucosinolate unique to horseradish, into allyl isothiocyanate, also known as mustard oil. This compound is responsible for its characteristic heat and strong smell, which can clear nasal passages and is sometimes compared to the heat of wasabi.
