Applications and Production

What makes organic horseradish powder?
Why is horseradish spicy?

As a protection against predators (voles, moles, etc.). Horseradish contains a variety of vitamins, especially high is its vitamin C content. Furthermore, horseradish contains mustard oils. These are responsible for the tears flow when horseradish tear / rub. Mustard oils have bacterial inhibiting, digestive and appetite stimulating effect.

 

How is organic horseradish grown?

Organic horseradish is a real specialty because horseradish cultivation has some challenging aspects. The cultivation of horseradish is done in the spring from lateral roots, so-called "Fechsern", of last year's horseradish roots. These are first placed horizontally in the soil and "lifted" again after about 2 months. In the process, the horseradish root is freed from small side shoots so that a large main root is formed. Harvesting is done in November or the following March. Horseradish is best grown only every 4-5 years or less in the same field. Optimal would be fields on which horseradish has never been grown. In Austria, Styria produces 99% of the total harvest of about 4500t. The per capita consumption is about 300g per year.
