Horseradish is a commonly occurring plant.

Man has been collecting and using the herbs and plants in his environment since before written record.

Any ingredient that adds as much flavour to foods and has as many medicinal uses as horseradish does is something that quickly went from being gathered in nature as nomadic bands of humanoids passed, to being cultivated by mankind as he himself settled into more permanent domestic situations.

Can rabbits eat horseradish leaves?

Asked by Wiki User

Yes, rabbits can eat horseradish leaves.

Horseradish is a cruciferous plant, and some rabbits are sensitive to these plants because they get gas. Gas in rabbits can actually be very serious, even deadly. You might want to limit cruciferous plants and if your rabbit gets gas easily, avoid these foods entirely.

For Drying Seed.

Either dry on the bush or pick when ripe. Either way, harvest the whole seedhead or strip individual seeds and dry under cover for a week or so depending on the weather.
You could hang the entire plant up or just the seed heads. Store in an airtight container.

For Drying Leaves.

Harvest the entire plant ( or however many leaves you want) and hang to dry in an airy place. This won't work in humid weather. Don't bunch too many together or the air won't circulate well. When the leaves are crisp strip them and store in airtight containers.
Another method is to oven dry them although this is a bit more tricky. Place on baking paper on a wire rack in an oven set on low - 90 degrees F or so with the door open. Watch carefully. Remove when dry ( hopefully before they're burnt as well!) and store as above.

Why do Jew's have horseradish on Passover?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

The main reason Jews eat Matzoh in Passover to commemorate the Jews' exodus from Egypt. Since the Jews were forced to leave in a haste they hadn't had time to wait for the bread dough to rise and as a result the bread was flat. Therefore, Jews eat Matzoh to remember the exodus. Jews start eating Matzoh on the first night of Passover at the Seder meal until the end of passover. All other products made of grains are prohibited during the holiday, but some secular Jews do not abide by this prohibition. This is one of the Jewish customs in Passover that symbolizes freedom and humility for the Jewish people.

What is the difference between wasabi and horseradish?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

They are separate genera and species from the same family, Brassicaceae, informally known as the mustards, mustard flowers, the crucifers, cruciferous vegetables or the cabbage family.

The family contains well-known species such as Brassica oleracea (broccoli, cabbage, cauliflower, kale, collards, Brussels sprouts, etc.), Brassica rapa (turnip, mizuna, napa cabbage, etc.), Brassica napus (canola, etc.), Raphanus sativus (common radish), Armoracia rusticana(horseradish), and many others.

Horseradish its a root, that grows in the ground. You can use it to make paste. (Some countries believe it's really good for your throat.) It has a very strong taste. It's used to make a sauce or in pickles.

The common radish is also a root vegetable. It has similar taste to horseradish, but not as strong. Some radishes are white and long (around 10-15 cm); others are small pink balls. It's very healthy. Just slice it and put on sandwich or use for salads.

How do you kill horseradish?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Ammonium sulphamate (Dax "Root-Out")Not organic. To kill comfrey, horseradish and other awkward weeds safely, cut the crowns off just below the surface with a spade and spread about ¼ ounce of ammonium sulphamate on the cut surface of the roots left in the ground. This will destroy them completely, and after about four weeks, the chemical becomes sulphate of ammonia, which is a common chemical fertiliser and washes harmlessly from the soil. It can be used to kill swarms of small comfrey plants where a Rotavator has been used in an attempt to kill comfrey, or where it has been dug out, leaving the soil full of fragments. Stir 1 lb of the white crystals into a gallon of water and apply with a rosed can over a 10 foot square area. In eight weeks any crop can be sown or planted after it. It is never poisonous to birds or pets, and it produces an increase in the worm population after use.
