How to Harvest & Prepare Horseradish - plus its benefits! (Do you know how incredible it is?)

[@fourseasonsnorth]

*UPDATE* If you want to have HOT horseradish, let the ground horseradish sit for 3-7 minutes BEFORE adding the vinegar/whey. Opposite of what we said at 3:27.

[@Greens5511]

Whew glad you said this....I watched a few videos on this and yep I thought the same thing....you must have mixed that part up a bit.....

[@sugga2365]

Do you add whey protein? Or where do you buy whey from? Sorry to ask just don’t know.

[@fourseasonsnorth]

Good question. We use the lacto-fermented whey from our cheesemaking: kzbin.info/www/bejne/bKHdfqCnrr6niNk Do not use whey protein!

[@tamaraspillis612]

🤩🤣Yes the vinegar controls the heat, the later added the hotter. Thoroughly enjoyed the demo. Will use pickle brine from last year. That was a good tip.. I put horseradish leaves in pickles to give snap and grape leafs for zest.

[@sugga2365]

@@fourseasonsnorth Thank you and I’m very glad I asked.

[@robotnik77]

Back in the 50s whenever I took my dog out in the mornings for his run, he'd head for a particular horseradish plant in my Dad's garden. When Dad harvested his plants, that was the last one he dug up and used. He said that it was the best of all of them. He liked them pungent. I never told him that my dog Zipper was the one that watered that particular plant every morning. We kept the secret and it kept my seat from getting warmed. One of my favorite memories was Dad saying, "That last one was the best!!" I still laugh. O, Dad, I was afraid to tell you.

[@sugga2365]

Funny heck naw Zipper. But that’s a secret that you kept forever🎯

[@fourseasonsnorth]

We LOVE our horseradish! After a few weeks/couple months it lost a bit of it's bite and had a slightly bitter taste. Next time we'll add more salt. We sometimes use it for our meat dishes but most of the time we take it as a medicine when we feel a cold coming on - it sure gives it a good kick out the door!

[@charlesroberts6490]

I add a little sugar to my horseradish it helps with the bitterness the.sooner u add the vinegar the sooner I lose heat not what they tell you here all I add is vinegar salt and a little sugar and distilled water as needed for consistency

[@GodIsPriority]

How do you use it?? Is it like ginger root where you turn it into juice?

Haha, that's great Robin! We didn't quite get it right in the video, so if you're making your own, make sure (if you want it hot) to leave it exposed to the air for five minutes or so before adding our vinegar. THEN it will make you talk funny!

Loved your video girls especially the bloopers. I have a question about horseradish. I have a plant that is a few years old (can’t kill it if I tried) and was wondering if it makes a difference what time of year I harvest it? Does it make a difference in quality or taste? It would be nice to go out and dig some of it up during the winter/spring and summer. You mentioned harvesting it after a couple of frost if I recall. Thanks again for a great video girls. I will say a prayer for you everyone up in Canada for the continued support of the trucker protest. We all support what is going on up there and am so glad to finally see a large enough effort to make a difference. Oh yeah really nice military truck. GOD BLESS…

[@fourseasonsnorth]

Thanks a lot, great to hear from you. We'd recommend harvesting in the fall, but how much the flavours differer at the different times of year, we're not sure. Harvesting in the fall or spring ensures that the nutrients are then in the roots and not also in the foliage. Same principle for when harvesting dandelions: kzbin.info/www/bejne/oYKWanRshtmNh9U

[@Brendaleegeneau]

Ah man! You girls made me laugh. I made horse radish yesterday and thought my brains were coming out my nose from all the snot and tears during the process. I went through half a box of kleenex and part of a roll of paper towels. I've made it before but this batch is the hottest I've ever tasted. Just read your update and now I see the reason it turned out so hot. I left it a lot longer than the last time before adding the vinegar. Hokee man! It is powerful! Still... now all I want is a nice beef roast so I can enjoy my horseradish to it's limit. a

I have a basement that stays at about 50°F (10 °C). Is this cool enough for storage or do I need to refrigerate?

Probably would depend on how long you'll be storing it there for. It may get a bit soft, but should be fine for a couple months. We've stored ours layered in peat moss, same way we store our carrots.

[@charlesroberts6490]

I would refrigerate

[@sainte3443]

I followed your recipie and it did not turn out very hot, I left it on the counter for 2 days in a jar with a loose lid, I added kosher salt and a pinch of sugar, ?? any idea how to keep to strong flavour?

[@fourseasonsnorth]

Hi Tracy, we haven't succeeded in keeping ours hot for long periods of time, although this batch we made stayed pretty hot (for us, that is) for at least 2 weeks. Keeping it stored cool, sealed and packed tight helps. I know in the video we said sealed loosely and leave on counter for 2-3 days but you could try skipping right to seal tight. Did you add vinegar? We've read that adding vinegar 3 minutes after blending/grating is really supposed to help keep the kick. Although if you want hot, fresh is best. Hope this helps and all the best!

[@solmassages9732]

Wow, horseradish is so finicky!

[@EarlLedden]

Does cold include freezing? Also, why leave at room temperature for 2-3 days? I just made a batch and compared it to some I had purchased. I'd tell you how good it was, but I hates to brag.

Hmmm... not quite sure, but I think just cause they're soft doesn't mean they won't grow. They do get a bit soft after they've sat out a bit. Although, if you know of someone who grows it, just ask them for a root. They transplant kind of like a weed - in other words, it's really easy!

Shredding horse radish in a group of people with cataracts. Each person taking their turn to shred the horseradish. With a sheet over all their heads, to contain the fragrant fumes this will melt the Cataracs from the eyes. This sounds confusing but it's not really, you need 4 to 6 people the results are immediate.
