Horseradish
Horseradish is a pungent root vegetable from the Brassicaceae family that develops its characteristic heat when the flesh is grated or ground, releasing volatile allyl isothiocyanate compounds. This fresh root delivers an intense, sharp aroma and initial fiery bite that quickly dissipates, contrasting with the sustained heat of chili peppers. Low in calories yet rich in glucosinolates with potential antioxidant properties, it's traditionally prepared by mixing freshly grated root with vinegar to stabilize its flavor intensity, making it a popular gluten-free condiment for roast meats and sauces.
