BURDOCK ROOT – Burdock root (Arctium lappa L.) is native to Europe and North Asia but can be found in many areas across the globe. The burdock plant is a genus that is related to both sunflowers and some members of the daisy family. The roots are very fibrous, and when cut becomes soft and stringy. Burdock root is used both for tea and in cooking.
VERSATILE USES – Burdock root is common in stews, soups, sauteed vegetables, and teas.

It accents Japanese miso soup (tonjiru), rolled sushi, vegetable dishes, and more. It can be mixed with other teas or brewed by itself.
EASY TO PREPARE – Burdock root need be soaked for only brief periods depending on the flavor intensity that is desired.
