It is a perennial plant of the crucifer family (which also includes mustard, wasabi, broccoli, and cabbage). The plant is most likely native to Southeastern Europe and Western Asia. It is now popular all over the world. It grows up to 5 feet (1.5 m) in height, and is grown primarily for its large, white, conical roots. Its intact root has almost no fragrance. Cut or rubbed, it irritates the mucous glands in the nose and eyes. Once exposed to air (through rubbing) or heat, if not used immediately or mixed in vinegar, its grated pulp darkens, loses its pungent flavor, and becomes unpleasantly bitter in taste. It acts as a stimulant, inflammatory, mild laxative and diuretic, stimulates the digestive function, and has been used in influenza, fever, urinary infection, rheumatism, bronchitis.
