What does Horseradish Sauce Taste Like?

Salty

Salty is one of the five main tastes. It has a satisfying and addictive quality with hints of sourness. Salty foods include cheeses, cured meats, chips, and olives. It is used in almost every dish and prepared food. Salt is added to enhance flavor and offer a distinctly salty taste.

Sour

Sour is one of the five main tastes. It is tart and bright, sometimes with a mouth-puckering quality.

Ingredients

horseradish

Horseradish is a large root that is used as a spice. The woody root is in the same botanical family as mustard and broccoli. Horseradish can grow over three feet in length and is long and round, with a medium width, white body. Horseradish is grated and used fresh, or dried and turned into wasabi powder. There are multiple ways of using this hot and peppery root, whose heat is experienced not on the tongue but in the sinuses. Horseradish can be commonly found in Asian, Jewish and Eastern European foods.

heavy cream

Heavy cream has a high fat content, giving it extra flavor and richness. The cream usually comes from cow's milk and generally floats to the top of milk, from which it can be skimmed. The cream is cream colored, or a pale golden color. The texture is thicker than milk with a flavor that is mild, rich and creamy. Heavy cream is used to make whipped cream and many desserts.

wine vinegar

Wine vinegar is vinegar made from wine. It can be made from red or white wine, but commonly is red. The longer the vinegar ages the more flavorful it becomes. Wine vinegar often has a thin water-like viscosity, but high quality versions are thicker. They are usually a dark red color, that may border on brown. The flavor is tart and aged wine vinegar will be slightly sweet. It is used to season many Mediterranean dishes.

mustard powder

Mustard powder is made from ground mustard seeds. Mustard seeds are roughly the size of a pinhead and have a spicy and hot flavor with sharpness. Mustard varies in color from white, to yellow, brown and dark black. Most mustard powder is made from white or yellow mustard seeds, but any variety can be used. The powder is finely textured and tastes just like the seed. It is used as a spice.

sugar

Sugar comes from sugar cane and sugar beets. The sugar is extracted from the juice of both plants and refined into the granulated substance known as sugar. Sucrose, the sweet substance of sugar is a combination of glucose and fructose. White sugar is composed of tiny white, dry granules. The flavor is sweet and neutral. Brown sugar is brown and has more moisture, with a richer flavor that hints at molasses. Sugar is used in both sweet and savory foods.

salt & pepper

Salt and pepper is a seasoning mix composed of these two ingredients. Black pepper has a cool and mildly spicy flavor. Salt brings out the flavor in food. This combination is a mix of grey/black and white granules. It is used on many savory dishes to boost the flavor.
