Edible Uses of wild horseradish

The leaves and the roots are both edible.

The young leaves can be eaten raw or cooked like spinach or cabbage.

The root is really the best part of this plant. It is best to harvest it in early winter. It is much stronger in flavour than the cultivated variety and is traditionally used to make horseradish sauce.

It also has many uses in herbalism including to treat skin redness, digestive disorders, constipation, chest infections, arthritis, chilblains, muscle soreness, and urinary tract infections.

It has also been used as a diuretic, antiseptic and expectorant. Research is being undertaken into potential anti-tumour properties.
