NHM is a month-long event held every July to celebrate the goodness of horseradish and to encourage consumers to eat horseradish year-round. The NHM event began in July 2005.

Horseradish is a member of the mustard family, and is cultivated for its thick, fleshy white roots. The bite and aroma of the horseradish root are almost absent until it is grated or ground. Adding vinegar helps to stabilize the flavor.

Approximately 6 million gallons of prepared horseradish are produced annually in the U.S., enough to generously season sandwiches to reach 12 times around the world. The next time you're in your favorite store, grab some horseradish and get creative. Horseradish creates a flavorful kick and can be used in many dishes.

Try one of these hot tips for using horseradish now and all year long:

·         Mustard with prepared horseradish adds a rich and spicy zing to cold cuts or hot entrees.

·         Give your cocktail sauce an extra little kick with prepared horseradish.

·         Use horseradish instead of butter and salt as a low calorie, non-fat topper for veggies.
