Armoracia rusticana
Horseradish is a perennial root vegetable in the Brassicaceae family, cultivated worldwide as a spice and condiment. It grows up to 1.5 meters tall with bright green leaves and produces white four-petalled flowers in dense panicles. The plant is primarily valued for its large, white, tapered root which has a pungent, hot flavour used in sauces and seasonings.
