Horseradish Powder

Horseradish powder is a unique yet useful pantry staple. It is easy to forget to always have fresh horseradish in the fridge and horseradish powder is an easy sub in most cases. Use horseradish powder where you would use fresh horseradish but we recommend never using it as is. It has an extremely chalky texture that needs to be mixed with liquid.   Horseradish powder is a hot, spicy powder that is typically blended into egg or cream based sauces, most commonly sour cream or mayonnaise.

What gives horseradish it’s flavor is the pungent essential oils of the root. When cooking horseradish, the spiciness is reduced as these oils evaporate. This is why you are more likely to find horseradish in uncooked sauces.

For a biting and thick horseradish sauce we recommend 1 part powder with 3 parts water.  This is the key ingredient in our snapdragon seasoning!
