Where does horseradish come from?

EAT ME horseradish comes from Austria. It is a plant with a remarkable growth habit: underground. All you need is a small root cutting pushed into the soil and a new plant will quickly develop above ground. So fast in fact, that the patch of soil where the roots grow can soon become overgrown. Horseradish is perennial but the leaves die off in winter.
