Organic Cut & Sifted Burdock RootFrontier Co-op Organic Cut & Sifted Burdock Root, 453 g (16 oz)

About burdock root

Burdock root is very fibrous, so when it is cut it becomes soft, stringy and cotton-like. The innermost part of the root has the same constituents as the woodier outer pieces. The plant is native to Europe and North Asia, grows in many regions and is related to sunflowers and some members of the daisy family.

In the kitchen

Burdock root is commonly used in stews, soups, sauteed vegetables and teas, and can be eaten as a vegetable on its own. It has an earthy, sweet, mild taste that combines well with other flavours, and it can be brewed by itself or mixed with other teas.
