What Is Lacto-Fermented Horseradish?
We’re glad you asked. Our lacto-fermented horseradish is a root vegetable similar to wasabi in its spicy, strong flavor. And here’s the good news: ours is organically farmed on small, Amish farms. Often, horseradish is grated to use as a condiment on sandwiches or as a supplement for asthma health. But our horseradish is lacto-fermented using vinegar instead of salt and water, allowing beneficial lactic acid bacteria to thrive. The result is a tantalizing tangy flavor, eliminating some heat that normally accompanies horseradish. Now, it’s time to dig into the health benefits of eating lacto-fermented horseradish.
