Horseradish, also called western wasabi and wasabi radish, has its scientific name of Armoracia rusticana G. M. Sch. The finished product of horseradish is also called wasabi.
 
Horseradish is native to Southern Europe. It has a cultivation history of more than 2000 years. The German and the British began to eat it and use it for pharmacologic health care in about 15~16 centuries. It had not been extensively utilized until the 20th century. After the Japan introduced it from Europe, China introduced it from Japan in early 1980’s, since then it has been popularized and cultivated in China in a large scale.
 
Horseradish contains abundant vitamins, sodium, calcium and magnesium. The root contains oil content (scientific name: allyl isothiocyanate), which has the functions such as sterilization, strengthening the stomach and promoting digestion. So it has been used as one of the natural herbs since the ancient times for gum inflammation, lungs infection, urinary tract infection, digestion, normalization of the function of the stomach and spleen, gall bladder improvement and diuresis. The main functions include maldigestion, difficult urination, cholecystitis and arthritis. It can cure bronchus, rheumatic pains and other diseases when it is applied externally.
Now horseradish is one of the important seasonings. It is mainly used to make horseradish paste, which substitutes wasabi as a condiment for sashimi, sushi and buckwheat noodles due to its strong effect of smoothening the nose, the mouth, the ears and the eyes.
