Horseradish - what is the use and what to do with it?



Botanists call this plant horseradish ordinary or village horseradish. It has been known almost as long as garlic. Already 4 thousand years ago horseradish was eaten and used as a remedy. The mustard essential oil gives it a burning taste.

As a food product, it is a unique plant. Even a small amount of horseradish, eaten in the form of a seasoning, covers the lack of vitamins in the body. In addition, the horseradish root contains a lot of phytoncides, nitrogenous substances, essential oils, rare, but necessary for the body, sulfur. And most importantly - mineral salts, especially potassium, calcium and sodium.

Daily requirement the body of an adult in these elements is approximately as follows. We need sodium 4-5 g daily, potassium 2.7-5.8 g, calcium - 0.5 g, sulfur -1 g. However, with heavy loads, after a serious illness, as well as during pregnancy, the need for these elements increases.

Potassium-sodium balance in the body is extremely important. High consumption of table salt easily upsets this balance. Table salt contains 39 thousand units of sodium at 0 units of potassium.

The body collects potassium like a stingy knight, but table salt, even in the smallest doses, nullifies all its efforts. But the organic sodium contained in horseradish and other plants does not violate the potassium-sodium balance.

To cleanse the body from excess mucus nutritionists recommend to use grated horseradish with lemon: for 150 g of horseradish gruel - juice of 2-3 lemons. Take 2 times a day, half a teaspoon on an empty stomach and in between meals. Healing horseradish sauce can be stored in the refrigerator for no longer than a week.

At first, taking horseradish with lemon causes some tearing, but the horseradish treatment should be continued for at least two weeks, and then a course of treatment with carrot juice in combination with radish juice is carried out in order to remove from the body the mucus that has dissolved thanks to the horseradish. This procedure also restores the normal functioning of all mucous membranes in the body.

BTW
The famous historian and popularizer of cooking V.V.Pokhlebkin wrote that horseradish played a double role in the national Russian feast: on the one hand, purely culinary, and on the other, specifically entertaining. Horseradish always gave rise to fun and jokes at the table over people who did not know how to properly use it as a seasoning. And as a result, they shed tears over the plate to the general laughter of other guests. Such people were viewed as having no home or strong family roots. Meanwhile, the secret of consuming horseradish was extremely simple: it was necessary to use it only after you had bitten off and only slightly chewed (but not swallowed!) Another piece of meat or fish.

The best horseradish varieties in Russia are known as Suzdal, Riga and Jelgava.

In a collection of walking sticks and sticks of one St. Petersburg collector, the most valuable was a horseradish stick. Despite the name - "shitty" - the cane was anywhere - thick and strong.

In Russia, there was an old custom of testing the groom. During the matchmaking and review, the bride's parents always treated him to pickles with horseradish. Anyone who shed a tear at the same time received a complete refusal.

[Useful and healing horseradish dishes]

Useful and healing horseradish dishes



I must say that cooking table horseradish sometimes causes discomfort.
The fact is that if you cut a plant or pass it through a meat grinder, then phytoncides are released, which irritate the mucous membrane of the nose and eyes. The eyes begin to watery, and begins to pinch the nose.
But this is beneficial because horseradish phytoncides can rid you of harmful germs. As mentioned, it is a miracle cure for many ailments.

Horseradish leaves are used for pickling cucumbers and tomatoes.

At first glance, making horseradish is not difficult.
You just need to grate it, add vinegar, sugar and water.
But everyone who did it at least once cried then with burning tears. This is the nature of the product.
Therefore, if you want to preserve the inherent vigor of horseradish, do this: put the grater and the processed horseradish root in a spacious plastic bag, twist the edge of the bag hermetically and then proceed.

Another option: if you pass the horseradish root through the fine grate of the meat grinder, then put a bag on the outlet of the meat grinder and tie it so that the ground horseradish falls into the bag.

I also tried this option - I passed the root through a juicer, and then put it all together (juice and cake) - it turned out very finely and quickly, you won't have time to cry.

And if you want to get a product with a more delicate taste, for example, creamy or berry horseradish, you cannot do without a quality blender. When milled into a fine gruel, horseradish significantly loses its renowned pungency.

It makes sense!
Add to marinades, stew meat for piquancy. I added to pickled lemons. And just do, where some sharpness and piquancy is required.
You can also safely throw horseradish into the freezer, nothing will happen to him

I what? Did one of the shitty dolma leaves wind up?

Tanya, I found him in the spring on the street, just lying in a bag, then that I did not have time to twist into "crap" and after the winter he even started to grow, well, I dried him, it was a pity, there was about 4 kg of horseradish thick roots. All winter they just lay around a table on the street.

I specially dry a set of herbs for the marinade for the winter (horseradish leaves, dill, currants, and so on), and I store horseradish everywhere: freezer, refrigerator, dried - a find in winter

I love horseradish, especially in dressings or sauces, but I never even thought about its usefulness! I'll know

It turns out that you can just store it in the refrigerator?
And then they dug up ... a lot
And we think how to save it.

[do not have time to cry.]

I also tried this option - I passed the root through a juicer, and then combined it all together (juice and cake) - it turned out very finely and quickly, do not have time to cry.

The man wrote. obviously not doing so.

Once I decided to grind in a centrifugal juicer, I thought, yeah, now I'm just! and that's it! Nooo, uzhos, what happened !! Horseradish juiced perfectly, it turned out to be awesomely finely crushed, and the juice went well. But! it was impossible to stand next to the fucking machine !!! Already breath and heart were seized - such a thick smell went, and even this squeezer is spinning, the centrifugal force omnipresent this smell accelerates

The man wrote. obviously not doing that

The topic is old, now I can't say anything about it, sorry
But, through a meat grinder with a fine lattice, it turns out perfectly and quickly, provided that you wrap this whole structure in a large bag, out of harm's way. So i did

The most correct use of horseradish is horseradish! My son-in-law (we live with the youth) makes home-made home-brew of triple distillation and coal purification, and insists on horseradish roots in it. Well, what can I tell you - cognacs, rums, calvados and tequilas - all together nervously smoke on the sidelines!
And horseradish can be deliciously consumed here:

"Lousy" chicken in a tandoor Well, - spring has come, May weekend! My tandoor survived the winter safely, in an open-air courtyard, just covered with plastic wrap. Let's bake a chicken. Even two at once, because ...Kapet

The best thing a man came up with from horseradish roots is Fuck. Only four ingredients, and culinary orgasm induces 5 on a five-point scale! The only thing that can compete with our Russian masterpiece is a fake wasabi from a daikon.
