Horseradish is well known in Romanian cuisine and traditional medicine.

Both the root and the leaves are used for culinary purposes. The leaves, which we add to pickles, have healing properties for many diseases.

Horseradish leaves are rich in vitamin C, potassium, calcium, and magnesium.

Like other cruciferous vegetables (cabbage, mustard, broccoli), they contain glucosinolates, substances responsible for the spicy taste.

The young leaves are excellent for salads. They have a spicy taste, but their spiciness is not as strong as that of the root.

They can also be added to soups, stews, or sauces. They can be cooked like spinach or boiled and consumed as a tea.
