You won't be surprised to find that the return plant has almost no enemies in nature. Parasites and natural bacteria are almost completely prevented from attacking the root and even the rest of the plant. Exceptional are butterfly larvae for the cabbage building, which indicates that even in nature there are species that masochism is part of their life form.

But we are much more interested in the question of how this concentrated bombardment of bombardment has become one of the signs of the Seder, on the standard of bitterness. In principle, the role of the bitter in the bowl is to remind us of the bitterness of the bondage of the Jewish people in Egypt. But there is a difference between Mr., and the shredded white powder of the mumps root, from which only the vapor can be lost in the nose. This truth has caused many families to try a little to dilute the extreme taste of the root with the addition of shredded beets. However, in some Ashkenazi Jewish communities to this day, they try their luck every re-order with eating 30 grams of pure horseradish.

We, whose history and quirky practices inspire us with the gland of curiosity, have decided to try to trace the roots of this extreme custom, and understand where your return to life came from? And why is it still there when Israel's original return is the bitter and white part of the base of lettuce leaves?

It's all the Ashkenazi fault

We said extremes, we said hardware, we said extremes, we said Ashkenazim. Indeed, those who brought it back to the Seder bowl were the Ashkenazi evidence in Europe around the 13th century. The reason for this was simple, the lettuce did not grow well in cold and northern areas, while the root of the return needed a lot of water.

So why are you still using mumps today? Well, you know that it is stubbornness and adherence to customs, in fact, bitter is the root of the lettuce and mandatory. Mumps is just a substitute, not the thing itself. But tradition seems to be a tradition, and customs are hard to change.

"Horseradish assistant": The advantages of the acute root

And despite all of our prejudice presented earlier, it should be noted that eating horseradish is very healthy, of course when you do it carefully and don't risk it. More than that, millennia ago it was used as a remedy for headaches and other diseases, and it actually contains healthy substances that naturally help the body cope with bacteria, infections and fungi. In fact, it has historically been a medicinal plant with anti-cancer properties, prevention of urinary tract infections and various arthritis. Because of the spicy substance that is released when ground, it is also a spice that releases saliva, reduces the amount of phlegm and even claims to help against bronchitis, respiratory problems and cough. As expected, the mumps works against digestive problems. It is important to note, however, that it is a spicy plant whose large intake is not healthy for the body and needs to be controlled and balanced.
