“Pepperrot” is the Norwegian name, also known as common man’s wasabi, it’s horseradish, Armoracia rusticana, a multipurpose, perennial, high yield, very hardy vegetable used not only for the roots but also the spring shoots and delicious edible flowers….Here’s a few pictures of today’s cold harvest!

Large roots
I use the old large roots for forcing spring greens indoors in February / March both green (strong) and blanched for a milder taste
Packed in with damp leaves, they will be moved into the cellar when it gets cold…
