Are Horseradish Leaves Edible?

Spread the love

Is it not possible to prepare the leaves of the horseradish as a vegetable in the same way as spinach or Swiss chard?

Yes, not only the root, but also the horseradish leaf can be used as a spicy vegetable.

Horseradish is found everywhere in the wild in our country and can easily be cultivated in your own garden.

The plant is easy to confuse with the curly dock. A taste test should provide clarity immediately.

The horseradish leaf tastes just like its root, only with a milder spiciness. Experience has shown that the young leaves and shoots of all wild herbs are particularly suitable for consumption, while older leaves tend to be woody and have a less spicy taste.
