                                Horseradish is a pungent root often used as a condiment, but it contains mustard oil, which can be irritating and potentially harmful in large doses, particularly for specific individuals. While generally safe for most people in culinary amounts, its concentrated forms used medicinally pose greater risks for certain health conditions, pregnant women, and young children.
