The most recent figures show that Illinois harvests nearly 1,800 acres of horseradish annually. Learn more about the state's important sector:

• Horseradish thrives in Illinois thanks to fertile soils, a suitable climate and farmers skilled in special growth methods.
• The hot flavor of horseradish becomes more pronounced when grating or grinding the root, which releases the highly volatile oils.
