My Maror has been weak the last few years. Any recommendations on having intense Maror?

Store it in glass instead of plastic.
I wonder what people who type "u" instead of "you" do with all their free time.

Coarser = spicier.
Grind it as close to Seder as possible.
Store it in a airtight container (glass is better then plastic).
Freeze it until right before Seder.

ETA: If freezing it, there's really no need to grind it as close to Seder as possible. The freezing will lock in the freshness.

Does freezing it ruin the texture?

What do you mean by texture? You're not eating the Maror plain are you.

Funny way of asking, but ok.

Most don't use just horseradish. Some use just lettuce. But many eat both. Some eat together. Some eat the two separately, most don't.

You took a poll?
No. Saw in Sefer that most Poskim hold lettuce is preferred way of Maror. Some poskim argue and say that since today's lettuce isn't sharp should use horseradish. Many use both (myself) and some poskim say they should be done separately.

But what does that have to do with what most people do?
