2. The spicy taste of horseradish is due to the glycoside sinigrin, which opens the respiratory passages and helps with sinus problems. In addition, this substance repels pests, so it is recommended to plant horseradish next to potatoes. Such horseradish is also less spicy and equally healthy.

3. Natural antibiotic and preservative. Horseradish effectively prevents bacterial growth and destroys all types of viruses.
