There is a brand that is available all over Colorado called Silver Spring (not to be confused with the town I grew up in) and I'd be glad to ship you some if you'd like to private email me your physical address. I have plenty of cryo-vac shipping stuff from all my importing of Swedish caviar, but I do think it's shelf-stable until opened.<br />Tina @ <a href="http://kmdlifeisgood.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow">Life is Good</a>Tinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08925730745204736744noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2762107274389650601.post-84620610814372584892013-08-19T14:13:19.226-04:002013-08-19T14:13:19.226-04:00All I need now is to find out if I can buy it loca...All I need now is to find out if I can buy it locally.Johttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14087140585742801854noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2762107274389650601.post-65100244774989406632013-08-19T14:12:12.851-04:002013-08-19T14:12:12.851-04:00You and me bothYou and me bothJohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14087140585742801854noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2762107274389650601.post-73214061141006909102013-08-19T13:34:34.487-04:002013-08-19T13:34:34.487-04:00I love hot horseradish.

A friend of mine grows them and when she harvests them she has a sand box in the basement and she puts them under the sand and uses them as needed. Best to grate or dice them with gloves because it does burn. Vinegar will preserve the pungency for several weeks in the fridge if you have the container tightly sealed. When I've helped her make up horseradish, we dice it and let it sit for about 10 minutes and then use a food processor and add vinegar. Unused portion goes in sealed jar and in the fridge. Alex, my girlfriend, uses a vacuum seal and freezes the unused portion of the root, but I imagine you can double seal it in a ziplock freezer bag.<br /><br />I also love a good wasabi. I like it hot enough to bring tears to the eyes too!<br /><br /><a href="http://siamckye.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow">Sia McKye Over Coffee</a> ~Sia McKye~https://www.blogger.com/profile/08470562659597351033noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2762107274389650601.post-18311185088728571882013-08-19T11:18:12.064-04:002013-08-19T11:18:12.064-04:00So hot it brings tears to your eyes - that's h...So hot it brings tears to your eyes - that's how hot I like it!!Alex J.

Grating sets off enzyme activity which releases extremely pungent volatile oils and these BURN your eyes and nose. Best to do it a very well ventilated area. David can normally peel onions with no reaction but the horseradish reduced him to tears for half an hour or so LOL<br /><br />For mild horseradish add vinegar immediately. For hot horseradish leave for 3 mins or more before adding vinegar. Then seal tightly in container and store in fridge for up to a month, or longer in a freezer.<br /><br />Enjoy!Sue Clinkerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15582183867336673426noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2762107274389650601.post-9597344901021385562013-08-19T09:42:52.207-04:002013-08-19T09:42:52.207-04:00I get strange pains in my legs, probably due to pi...I get strange pains in my legs, probably due to pinched nerves.<br /><br />I'd like to know why they have to dump so much sugar in ketchup and spaghetti sauce, too.L.
