Why is your horseradish/cocktail sauce so hot?
The fresher the product is, the “hotter” the profile will be. As it ages, it will lose some of its heat. To retain the flavor, always store under refrigeration in a tightly sealed container. Draining the vinegar from prepared horseradish makes it taste milder. In all recipes using horseradish, vary the amounts according to taste and to compensate for differences in “heat” that come with the natural aging of the prepared product. For a milder cocktail sauce, add a little ketchup and a squeeze of lemon to taste.
Are your products gluten free?
As you may be aware, the FDA has proposed a definition for "gluten-free" that prohibits the inclusion of specific "prohibited grains" and mandates the product contain less than 20 parts-per-million of gluten (www.fda.gov). Our products satisfy both of those requirements. If you remain concerned about potential trace amounts of gluten as allowed by the FDA's definition, we encourage you to consult with your physician.

Are your products Kosher?
All of our Silver Spring products are daily Kosher under OU certification. In addition, we provide Prepared Horseradish and Horseradish with Beets that are Kosher for Passover.
How long can I use your products after the expiration date?
Silver Spring products stored under refrigeration will retain their flavor and “heat” for an extended period of time. It is a matter of personal taste. As horseradish ages and is exposed to air, it will in time lose some of its “heat.”
How do I read the code date?
The code dates on our Silver Spring products read as “Best When Purchased by Date.” Always check this date to assure that you are buying the freshest available products.
Can I still use your products if they have not been stored in the refrigerator?
Silver Spring products stored under refrigeration will retain their flavor and “heat” for an extended period of time. It is a matter of personal taste. As horseradish ages and is exposed to air, it will in time lose some of its “heat.”
How can I grow my own horseradish?
Horseradish is planted in either spring or fall of the year, by using the stock from trimmings of the crop’s main root at harvest. For optimal harvest, it is best to allow the root to mature for one entire year.
Why are the shipping costs so high?
Product containing horseradish requires storage under refrigeration. By shipping these items for delivery within two days, the product is out of refrigeration for a minimal amount of time. |
