Freshly grated horseradish offers a pungent kick to elevate your culinary creations. Properly stored, this zesty root condiment retains its vibrant flavor and potent aroma, making it a versatile pantry staple for adding a spicy note to roasts, sandwiches, and dips.
Storage Time
Up to 3 weeks in the refrigerator
Temperature
Store refrigerated at 0–4°C (32–40°F) to maintain optimal freshness and pungency.
Freezing
Grated horseradish can be frozen to extend its shelf life, though some pungency may be slightly diminished upon thawing. For best results, freeze in small portions using airtight containers or ice cube trays. Thaw in the refrigerator overnight before use. Frozen horseradish is ideal for cooking applications where intense flavor is desired.
