Horseradish has been used since 1500 В. C. when the Egyptians farmed it. The ground root was a part of ancient Jewish Passover ceremonies, and early Greeks used it as an ointment for lower back pain. According to legend, the oracle of Delphi told Apollo, "The radish is worth its weight in lead, the beet its weight in silver, the horseradish its weight in gold.⁰ Horseradish became more popular in Central Europe in the 12^th century, when it was called "meerrettich", German for sea radish, because it grows by sea. It is believed that when the eating of horseradish spread to England during the Renaissance, the English could not pronounce the German "mere" and began calling it mareradish. Eventually, "mare" led to "horse", and it became known as horseradish.
