It is a perennial herb of horseradish in Cruciferae, which feeds on fleshy roots. Originated in Eastern Europe and Turkey, it has been cultivated for more than 2,000 years. In China, Qingdao and Shanghai suburbs planted it earlier, while other suburbs or vegetable processing bases planted a small amount. It is a kind of seasoning vegetable, which is mainly exported after fresh-keeping or dehydration, and is well received by consumers in Japan and European countries. The root has a special spicy taste and contains allyl thiocyanic acid (C3H5CNS). After grinding, it is dried and stored as a seasoning for boiled beef and creamy food, or cut into cans for seasoning. China has been used as a medicine since ancient times, which has diuretic and nerve-exciting effects.
