Int'l Horseradish Festival is held in Collinsville, IL (about 10 miles east
of St. Louis, MO) every May. Sixy percent of the worlds horseradish is
grown there. It's pretty easy to grow. Why is it Hot? Highly volatile oils
are released by enzyme activity when the root cells are crushed. To grind:
Wash & peel dice in small cubes. Process in a blender with enough cold
water to just cover. Add 2-3 T. white vinegar ane 1/2 t. salt. Process no
more than half a blender jar. The time you add the vinegar is critical as
this determines how hot it will be. If you like it hot wait up to 3 minutes
to add the vinegar as this stops the emzymatic action.
