What the heck does horseradish look like? I thought I bought the right thing but it doesn't taste how I thought it would.... what's wrong with me?!?!?

Justine, it looks like a big straight root, with bark-like covering. I just bought some the other day and it does indeed taste like horseradish. If I can figure it out, I will take a picture of mine and post it.

Love your new pictures! Alicia

The root of the horseradish is usually washed, peeled, and ground and sold in its processed form in jars; but it is also found as a whole root in the produce section of most larger supermarkets. The raw horseradish root is much spicier than the processed form. It can be stored in the vegetable bin of your refrigerator for several weeks. The inside of the horseradish root should be white. Select only firm roots. Fresh raw horseradish root is excellent for making spicy salad dressings, dips and sandwich spreads.
