Horseradish on Long Island
According to horseradish.org, the 3,000 year-old plant has been used as an aphrodisiac, a treatment for rheumatism, a bitter herb for Passover and a flavorful accompaniment for beef, chicken, and seafood. Today, approximately 6 million gallons of prepared horseradish are produced annually in the U.S.
On Long Island, The North Fork Horseradish Festival has sprouted its roots through an annual informal gathering of local friends and family who spent hours peeling, chopping, and grinding fresh bushels of horseradish roots to take home. The idea for this event was born many years ago and as it continues to grown, we want to invite you and your family to enjoy this tradition with us. |
