Pungent Fresh Horseradish Root – Farm-Grown & Natural

Store whole, unwashed horseradish root in a perforated plastic bag or wrapped in a slightly damp paper towel inside a sealed container in the vegetable crisper drawer of your refrigerator. It will keep fresh for 3 to 4 weeks. For longer storage, peel and grate the root, then freeze it in an airtight container or ice cube trays for up to 6 months. Avoid storing near ethylene-producing fruits like apples or bananas to prevent premature spoilage.
