Horseradish Plant

Basically, when you plant bare-root horseradish, make sure the flat end is up and the slanted end goes down in the planting hole. When you're finished planting, the horseradish will end up about 2 inches below the soil surface. We have all of our Growing Guides available online on our website for your convenience. Here is the one for the horseradish: http://www.starkbros.com/growing-guide/how-to-grow/garden-plants/horseradish-plants/planting

Harvest them and give them to those who will appreciate them. Or harvest them, make an easy horseradish sauce, and gift them to friends and family.

Stark Bro’s does not knowingly grow or offer genetically engineered plants or trees. We either graft our trees or grow them from cuttings.

Is this organic?
We raise our trees and plants as organically as we can. We do spray when necessary - primarily with biological/organic agents - to keep pests and diseases at bay in order to save a threatened crop, but you may raise the tree or plant as organically as you wish. Stark Bro’s does not knowingly grow or offer genetically engineered plants or trees (GMOs).

It does very well, be alert because it grows out the drain holes and will root every where! S

I bought 3 or 4 horseradish plants 2 years ago. I now have 15 plants from those earlier plants. We have had no problems with deer.

Yes. After harvest, just take a handful of pieces to make new plants and plant them. They are some of the easiest plants ever.

The leaves have a sharp, bitter, and peppery taste — similar to arugula and kale. They can be eaten raw or cooked, depending on your preference.

The species name is A. rusticana; this is a common or Maliner Kren type.

Horseradish leaf is sometimes used as a visual or culinary substitute for moringa, especially in regions where moringa (also called "drumstick tree") is hard to find. However, they are not the same plant and have different nutritional properties and flavors.

Here’s how horseradish leaf might be used or made to represent moringa:

1. Visual Stand-In
In marketing or food presentation, horseradish leaves can look somewhat similar to moringa leaves in size and shape when chopped or prepared. So, in some photos or dishes, people might substitute horseradish leaves to imitate moringa's appearance.

2. Culinary Substitute
In some cultures or recipes, horseradish leaves are used as a moringa alternative in soups or herbal preparations, because:

They're readily available in temperate climates.

They are edible and nutritious, although not as densely packed with nutrients as moringa.

⚠️ Note: Horseradish leaves are more bitter and pungent, especially when mature. They don’t offer the same mild, slightly sweet flavor or the rich nutrient profile of moringa.

3. Dried or Powdered Form (Less Common)
Some may try to dry and powder horseradish leaves to resemble moringa leaf powder, but the taste and smell are very different.

Moringa powder is mild and earthy, while horseradish leaves have a spicy, mustard-like aroma, especially when crushed or dried.

If you're trying to fake moringa for a look in a photo or dish, horseradish leaves might pass. But for

This is a root that is planted and will then grow into the plant like pictured.
