Healthy, because
Celery, shallots and apple provide a considerable amount of fiber, while the horseradish contains sulphur compounds (glucosinolates), which effectively slow down bacteria and stimulate detoxification.
Even smarter
Freshly-grated horseradish contains useful essential oils and aroma. In the warmer season, when the root is out of season, horseradish from the jar is a good substitute.
