How to harvest horseradish – my top tips learned from growing and picking the crop for chefs

Horseradish is famed for its spicy roots that are commonly used for sauces. It is also packed with vitamins and minerals and has medicinal uses. The plant has been cultivated for thousands of years, thanks to its wide variety of uses and how simple it is to grow. 

I have grown horseradish in kitchen gardens that was harvested and used by chefs. If you want to know how to grow horseradish, the good news is that it’s relatively simple to grow and harvest, providing you have the restraint required for its long growing season.

Horseradish can be grown in the ground, or successfully cultivated in pots. It is a plant that grows vigorously and clumps can get large, with very deep tap roots that can be difficult to remove. You do need to be careful harvesting horseradish, as any pieces of root left in the ground will regrow.
