Horse radish

Horseradish is a spicy root vegetable in the mustard family. It is similar in flavor to wasabi, which is used as a common sushi garnish. Horseradish stands out from other vegetables due to its strong, biting flavor. Horseradish has demonstrated a potential to lower plasma cholesterol levels and enhance cholesterol excretion in mice. These findings suggest that horseradish could be a beneficial dietary addition for managing cholesterol levels, potentially due to its ability to interfere with cholesterol absorption and promote its excretion. Further research is needed to confirm these effects in humans and to explore the full range of health benefits that horseradish may offer.
