I've only ever grown horseradish for the roots, which were so strong  they had to be handled with rubber gloves!
But I quit as it tends to take over gardens here (Lol. In dismay, my aunt would dig it up every year, only to see it multiply the next.)
Also, I grew it as an "architectural" plant where it could be contained but flea beetles love it, too, and rendered it "skeletal" instead. So another use for horseradish may be as a trap crop?!

Apparently, as people age, we develop a taste for bitter flavors which are associated with liver cleansing and other health benefits.

Horseradish root is very,very spicy. The leaves are large and surprisingly mild flavored.
