Can anyone tell me if horseradish are available fresh in Thailand if so what is it called in Thai?

I am told it is ไม้จำพวกมะรุม 'Mah Loom' ? but images don't tie into what I am looking for.

Thanks

I know of no one growing horseradish in Thailand. I do know that you can order the roots from the USA and they grow fast. Don't know how they wold do here.

Has anyone ever grown horseradish in Thailand.

มะรุม is not horseradish - it's Moringa oleifera which is sometimes called the "horseradish tree" because apparently the roots have a similar taste. In India it's called the "drumstick tree" because of the shape of its seed pods, which are widely eaten (at least in Bengal).

Horseradish in Thai is Horseradish - ฮอสแรดิช. See, for example, http://www.agric-prod.mju.ac.th/vegetable/File_link/horseradish.pdf

Thanks AYG.. that explains the 'drumstick' shaped pods which appeared in images of what I was told was horseradish.

Back to the drawing board......

If you're fortunate to see the maroom (look for signage: มะรุม), scrape the root, grind to a paste add vinegar and salt (and up to you, a little sugar) and refrigerate.

Voilà, you have a product, more tasty that genuine horseradish for so little outlay....

I gave looking for it, as only 'creamed' is available.   I just use wasabi now.
