The taproot of this plant has a spicy yet delicate taste. It was once referred to as the “poors’ pepper”, given the historical high price of pepper.
Grated, the root can be used as a condiment, to substitute mustard. It has purgative, digestive, rubefaciant, and stimulating properties. It is also rich in Vitamin C. Its absorption eases fat digestion.
