Midwest Horseradish Production Begins; Consumption Shifts to England
What happened
Commercial production of horseradish began in the Midwest, with Illinois leading the output. Concurrently, consumption of the spice is shifting from Europe to England. Horseradish is a perennial plant native to southeastern Europe and western Asia, and its roots are primarily grown for their pungent flavor.
Why it matters
The start of commercial production in the Midwest could influence regional commodity data and futures market interest. Increased regional production of this key crop may boost market demand and operational opportunities for agricultural publishers.
