Burdock root generally is considered an edible food product, especially in Asia. They are known to have been anti-oxidant, disease preventing, and contain health promoting properties. The root is earthy and has a distinctive taste. Some say the flavor can be slightly astringent, somewhat like ginseng.
We love its earthy aroma and taste :) |
Burdock root's white flesh can oxidize after it is peeled. To prevent this, submerge the root in water and use immediately after cut. |
