Grating or processing fresh horseradish can cause eye and nose irritation.
Crack any and all windows and double-check the kitchen is well-ventilated before beginning.

The frost will improve the root’s flavor, as long as you like it really kicky!
Spring will work, too, as long as the plants are still dormant.
Because horseradish roots grow out rather than down, be mindful when digging them up.
Simply Recipes / Mihaela Kozaric Sebrek
First, loosen the soil all around the plant.
Probe the ground with your hand to see if you might locate the roots.
Then keep digging until you’re able to raise the whole plant out of the soil.

double-check to save some roots to replant!
it’s possible for you to do this on the spot or overwinter them and plant them later.
Food Processor, Blender, or Box Grater?

If it turns gray, toss it out.
It will lose some of its potency this way.
