BURDOCK ROOT – Burdock root (Arctium lappa L.) is native to Europe and North Asia but will also be found in many areas across the globe. The burdock plant is a genus that may be related to both sunflowers and some members of the daisy family. The roots are very fibrous, and when cut turn into 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’s also used as a vegetable on its own and delivers an earthy, sweet and mild taste that complements other flavors. It accents Japanese miso soup (tonjiru), rolled sushi, vegetable dishes, and more. It may be mixed with other teas or brewed on its own.
EASY TO PREPARE – Burdock root must be soaked for only brief periods depending on the flavor intensity that may be desired.
SUSTAINABLY GROWN IN BULGARIA – Frontier Co-op burdock root is grown and harvested in Bulgaria and carefully extracted from the soil (up to several feet down) to obtain roots with the most productive potency. Our product is kosher certified and non-irradiated.
