Horseradish
From God's Banquet
Table This hardy perennial is in the mustard family, producing
a white meaty root that renders a hot biting, but
pleasant flavor. This flavorsome root was used in
eastern Europe during the 13th century for its medical
properties. Its antibiotic properties protect the colon
from harmful bacteria. It also encourages circulation,
clears sinuses and is excellent for insect bites, cuts
and stings. Apparently it is effective in eliminating
acne. Horseradish is a refreshing addition to salad
dressings, avocados, potatoes, cooked vegetables and
puts a galloping flavor into any sauce.
There are endless varieties of fruits, vegetables,
grains, legumes and seeds. On top of all these wonderful
foods, God has supplied herbs and spices, tools to allow
us to express creativity, aroma and flavor.
