Cochlearia armoracia) is a root used as a condiment and to clear the sinuses in a hurry. It contains chemicals similar to mustard. It has at times been used as the bitter herbs in the Passover meal in some Jewish communities. It has been speculated that it gets its name from the German Meerrettich. The Meer is pronounced like the English Mare, so horseradish. On the other hand, many English plant names have "horse" as an element where it denotes strong, or coarse.
Horseradish, sometimes blended with cream is often served with roast beef or sausages. Horseradish is also used in some prepared mustards. Much wasabi is actually horseradish dyed green.
Horseradish peroxidase is used in biochemistry for work with antibodies.
