The Egyptians knew about horseradish as far back as 1500 B.C. Roman legend has it the Oracle at Delphi told Apollo, "The radish is worth its weight in lead, the beet its weight in silver, the horseradish its weight in gold." During the Renaissance, horseradish consumption spread from Central Europe northward to Scandinavia and westward to England. Around 1640, English peasants began eating horseradish, and by the late 1600s, it was eaten by all classes. The English grew horseradish at inns and coach stations, to make cordials for weary travelers. Early settlers brought horseradish to North America and began cultivating it in the colonies. It was common in the northeast by 1806, and it grew wild near Boston by 1840.
