Horseradish Root, Sauget, 8 ounces (Sold by Weight). Great for Planting, Seasoning or Sauces. A taste delight.

I bought these segments of horseradish root for growing…I received two segments, and when they arrived they had some white fuzzy mold starting to grow on them… I cleaned them off with peroxide and put in the fridge while I tried to get around to figuring out where to plant them… I got back to them a week or two later, and they had started growing the white fuzzy mold again… I cleaned with apple cider vinegar(please note this was all an experiment, I’ve never dealt with a horseradish root/plant before in my life… but had read that they are such tough plants that will grow easily, so I wanted to see if they would still grow)… I planted them about three inches into some poor quality dirt… and they grew!!! Leaves started growing out of the dirt quickly, I think no more than a week after planting them! So I’m very happy with them. I think the mold was an understandable result of natural product that was in a box with moisture for too long which I’m assuming is unavoidable due to shipping distance… I’d much rather have the mold than chemicals to prevent the mold. Thank you for the horseradish:) I look forward to learning how to use it in cooking, because I love the flavor of horseradish. I also tasted the leaves and they are good too:)

This fresh horseradish is much stronger than the product I ordered in the past from another seller on Amazon. I use fresh horseradish to make Fire Cider, a wonder elixir created by Rosemary Gladstar, that helps with colds, flu, allergy, and the like. I also received this product 1-day early. It was wrapped in a semi-damp towel and placed in a plastic zip lock. When I removed the horseradish from the manila mailer, I could smell how strong it was without removing from zip bag. I'm really happy and now have a new jar of Fire Cider processing in my kitchen cabinet. Thank you Seller and Amazon. UPDATE: I'm ordering more today: a double batch this time. I'm now making a daily elixir with H/R root that I love. I add so much to it and feel safer from the dreaded virus/s going around in the US. In Jan I believe I had COVID-19. I've never been so sick in my life. Now I make my own medicine, with H/R as the base. Try simmering (20-30 min) 2-cups water with 1-2 TBS H/R, fresh turmeric, ginger root, garlic, chopped onion and jalapeno pepper, 1/8 tsp black pepper, tad cayenne, 1/2 squeezed lemon with some rind, and 1/4 tsp cinnamon. Strain into mug, add honey to taste. Wait till it cools some then add 1-2 TBS apple cider vinegar (Bragg). It's delicious and good for you. Plus how could any virus live in this? <smile>UPDATE 13 Jun 2020 I planted a good size tuber in a 5-gal grow bag. And two days ago I was happily surprised to find about 5 little darlings poking their heads out of the soil. It took a little over 3-weeks to germinate. I've never used a grow bag and never planted horseradish before, so I am pleasantly surprised this is working. Oh, my gosh, I'm so happy. But I still need more to shred for my elixirs as I'm almost out, so today I will order another 8 oz. from this company. I'm also looking at dandelion root. That is going to be another one of my passions for health and wellness.

I used half of my order to slice for infusing vodka, and I planted the other half to grow more.The piece I used to plant was refrigerated for almost 2 months before I put it in the ground. To my surprise, it grew nice big, green leaves within 2 weeks.The vodka I infused took on a nice strong flavor that mellowed over time. This is the perfect taste for me. I did not need to add any honey to subdue the flavor at all. 3 weeks with the root slices in, and one week with them out did the trick!

The horseradish came quicker than I expected and was very fresh! I went to local stores and the products they had were moldy and mushy. I was very happy with my order.

I received one small chunk about 1 1/2 inch long and one about 5 inches long. I’m in zone 9a Texas, planted these in early February, and the pieces have taken root and are doing well. They haven’t experienced the summer heat and humidity here but they are an experiment because they’re not ideal in this zone.

Flavor not strong, but 2 inch pieces growing like crazy!

The roots are doing wonderfully! Having my own bed of horseradish will provide years of happiness! Thanks for a great product! My taste buds appreciate the purchase! This was a great purchase and fantastic value for the price!

I planted the root as soon as I got it and it is now growing leaves! Very happy. Thank you.
