The horseradish is a hairy perennial with wavy, indented leaves and small white flowers. The plant grows to a height of 60-90 cm/2-3 ft and has a thick taproot. It originated on the borders of Europe and Asia.

Hardy perennial plant, native to southeastern Europe but naturalized elsewhere. The thick cream-coloured root is strong-tasting and is often made into a savoury sauce to accompany food. (Armoracia rusticana, family Cruciferae.)
