Horseradish is a commonly occurring plant.
Man has been collecting and using the herbs and plants in his environment since before written record.
Any ingredient that adds as much flavour to foods and has as many medicinal uses as horseradish does is something that quickly went from being gathered in nature as nomadic bands of humanoids passed, to being cultivated by mankind as he himself settled into more permanent domestic situations.

∙ 8y agoThe name horseradish has been traced back to the 16th century. It combines "radish", the generic name of several pungent root vegetables, with a then-contemporary use of "horse" to indicate strength or potency.

∙ 13y agoWhere the English name horseradish comes from is not certain. It may derive by misinterpretation of the German name Meerrettich (radish) as Mährrettich (mare radish). Some think it is because of the coarseness of the root. In Europe the common version is that it refers to the old method of processing the root called "hoofing". Horses were used to stamp the root tender before grating it.
